I had heard that there was "a single" photographed element in there, but it's possible they meant only one entire shot or one non-sky element. Somehow the sky always seems to be a place where it's OK to cheat. (I kid, of course; either it's all cheating or... none of it is, the results are what counts!)

Agreed.
Who has seen it twice? I did, and if you look with a critical eye you will notice that quite a few of the atmospheres are somehow somewhat off with the overall lighting of the scene and in some cases quite off with the hero lighting of the characters. Say the opening shot of the sun rising over the savannah is really crappy, actually. There you really miss the volumetric lighting.
It's funny that you mention that atmospheres are usually "OK to cheat" and also in this movie it feels like they thought "we have these crazy awesome terrain and animals and it looks awesome when we light it with our HDRI's etc., but we need clouds, shit we forgot about those! Our HDRI's themselves look like crap, oh no! So let's just copy/paste some other atmospheres over it, no one will see. Done yay!".
It just feels off or not part of the same scene/lighting...hard to explain.
