There are yotzeros for 4 parshiyos? I knew about piyutim during "Shemoneh
Esrei" (I should say "Amidah" for accuracy), but not during birkhas
Yotzeir haMe'oros.

I presume that's what RSZN meant; I just wanted to get on a soap-box and
campaign for more proper usage.

To answer the question: Yeshivish places are split: some say the piyutim,
because it's minhag; some do not, because it's a hefseiq (R' Chaim
Brisker wouldn't even allow Unsaneh Toqef!); and some say the piyutim
outside of Chazaras haShatz to nod to the minhag without making a hefseiq.

Tir'u baTov!
