Okay, received the DSI adapter cable yesterday. Tested with noble .2 server image [1], and noble .2 desktop image [2] on a Pi 5 8GB (older C1 stepping), and oracular server image [3].
The server image didn't show anything *initially* (rainbow screen or typical initrd output), but midway through systemd starting stuff the screen came on, showing the console output. Logged in normally with an attached keyboard, the screen at least appears to work normally. The desktop image also didn't show anything until the plymouth boot screen, but then proceeded to work normally through first time setup and for the desktop itself. That said, the ubiquity installer, the snap- store and various things do "fall off the bottom" of the display (clearly not designed for 800x480 resolution!). To be clear, this is without any modification to the image: config.txt is stock (so KMS overlay is active), as is cmdline.txt (no specification of video=), touchscreen is the official 7" DSI connected display, connected to CSI/DSI port 0, with display's control board powered from the 5V and GND pins on the Pi's header; I'll attach an image of the setup.
