The cables controlling the elevator in the Zero stretched, so that the response was roughly consistent throughout the plane's high speed range, which was at least new to Japanese craft. What were the other early examples of speed-adjusted controls? How did it become standard?

Could you give me an example of this and clarify this question? I assume you mean the A6M Zero?

And if you are wondering, aircraft have trim systems to reduce forces on the stick. Aircraft need to be constantly trimmed throughout their airspeed range

Aircraft control surfaces can be hinged more towards the center, which balances some forces.
