Many ways to go about this. How I would do it: do your modeling in C4D, use a simple contour toon shading texture, and then import the object into AE using the Element 3D plugin. Or you render the sequence out of C4D with normal shading and apply a toon filter effect in AE. It's faster, but may not look as good. You could even build the object entirely from extruded shapes within the AE 3d engine from scratch.

How would one go about creating an animated object using a proper 3D app like C4D but get rendered look typical of an AE infographic. Flat areas of color, minimal shading and textures, but retaining the dimensionality of said object.

For example a book opening and pages turning, that had faux text appear on the page, that could be rotated in space, while looking essentially like an icon in basic two-color.

Creating something in 2.5D in AE would be simple and the look is easy to acheive, but any 3D camera or object motion would have to be kept very basic to hide the gag.
