well, networking sometimes works or not works in mysterious ways!
first the good news:
i was finally able to install Spotty; for whatever reason, it would
simply not stick.
i enable it on the plugin page and click to restart LMS, but it would
come right back unchecked but now, at the top of the page.
this went on all morning until just now.  
anyway, i can now stream Spotify (with no stuttering) from LMS with/out
wifi enabled on RPi.
yes, for radio, it does require local wifi on RPi as you pointed out
before.

bad news:
i need the hotspot for internet radio; was hoping to locate it in just
one place, near LMS.
so, what exactly did i do to make it work?
i really don't know.

i did change the metric (using ifmetric) for ethernet interface greater
than wlan but
that made things much worse.  i couldn't browse the net nor could i
connect to NUCi over LAN.
so i undid the change and now, the routing table looks like this:

groundie@NUCi:~$ route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use
Iface
default         _gateway        0.0.0.0         UG    600    0        0
wlp0s20f3
link-local      0.0.0.0         255.255.0.0     U     1000   0        0
eno1
192.168.1.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     100    0        0
eno1
192.168.43.0    0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     600    0        0
wlp0s20f3

and somehow, it all works.
being an ex-engineer, i wish i understood why.
perhaps you have an explanation...

n.b. as for the sim card, it is not a data-sim.  it is in the phone and
i certainly do not want to mess with it at this point.
