I just get a no availability screen (it seems to be the case with all of searches I've done for Avios on AA metal), not even a "use more points for this flight" option.

Perhaps I'm doing something wrong on the searches.
There is no economy award availability on either of those days and the online tool seems to be able to select business class and not 1st class , which may be why the 1st class options are not appearing

Nothing necessarily wrong with the search. If you search back a few days , you will find that the BA booking tool does show flights on BOS-MIA where there is availability for economy awards
