I'm optimistic that it will meet my present needs, though I'm pretty
sure it's far too noisy for any astrophotography.

I'm unsure what processing has occurred in camera.
I'm unsure how the sensor has responded to the scene and how the
software in the camera has adjusted the image. I can guess, but I'm
not sure.
When you shoot RAW, no processing has occurred in the camera. However,
the jpeg viewed on the LCD screen has been processed. You can adjust
how much or how little by tweaking yur jpeg settings.
But isn't the histogram on the LCD based on a jpeg from the RAW capture?
This tweaking could be misleading when on a RAW capture.
Yes, but dialing down contrast and saturation on your jpeg settings makes
the jpeg histogram approximate the RAW. It's definitely close enough to
keep one in the ballpark.

Dialing up contrast & saturation on the jpeg settings could lead to false
histograms as far as the RAW capture is concerned, even tho the jpeg (on the
LCD) might look ok.
