If so, is there a rule of thumb to simplify, such as "anything in front of the pitcher..." or "anything landing on the infield grass..."?

Remember one thing. The IF is a rule to prevent the defense from making an easy DP.

Therefore, your rule of thimb is simple. If there is pop-up in the infield call the IF, because to do otherwise is practically given the defense 2 outs especially on 90 ft. bases. All the defense wuld have to do is throw to F5 and then either F4/F6 to get the easy DP.
