Kodi seems to have great performance on a lot of SBC's that otherwise don't have many reliable video playback options.    Platform specifics aside, is it possible to configure Kodi to load straight into a video and play it indefinitely with absolutely no interaction of its interface required?      

If this is possible either via script or settings / addons within Kodi itself please do let me know.

You could probably figure out a method using the autoexec service... https://kodi.wiki/view/Autoexec_Service

yes, if you can write code

not aware of any existing solutions

https://kodi.wiki/view/JSON-RPC_API/v13#Player

Player.Open, Player.SetRepeat inside of an autoexec as Karellen suggested

being jsonrpc you have availability of kodi-send from a system script in bash for linux as well

various automation tools on android if one does the research
