Holy S\*\*T, I have absolutely no idea why this works but changing the Bounds Scale to something like 1.5 has a DRASTIC impact on the distance at which shadows seem to cull. However, I have no way to select all the meshes in my scene and set increase their scale. Is their a command that could change this??

EDIT: So my problem was that the bounds on the meshes that had clipping/disappearing shadows had to be increased. Select Mesh-\>Rendering-\>Bounds Scale.
