except for one glaring flaw: it won't boot up properly unless I have a monitor plugged into one of the display ports. Of course, this makes things a bit difficult to debug.

Seems you need a dummy HDMI plug, similar to what was described in this thread: https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=165192618008143&w=2
I had a similar problem with a Mac Mini, a long time ago, and taped some resistors in place so that OpenBSD would boot unattended and without a display attached. The resistors have to be in the right range to work, but there is some flexibility as to the specs: https://rumorscity.com/2013/12/06/how-to-create-dummy-plugs-for-your-graphics-cards/ Though a form dummy HDMI plug might be the best approach if it's likely to get jostled or moved. /Lars
