Update:

I removed everything and used the system package manager. I think the "No
module named 'pyopencl._cffi'" and "undefined symbol: clCreateSubDevice"
were related to building from source. Using the package manger version
seems to avoid these errors.

Which just leaves the "PLATFORM_NOT_FOUND_KHR", and the related CUDA
"cuInit failed: no device" error, which is presumably due to
misconfiguration.

I don't remember how to fix this. I searched around, and applied commonly
reported solutions, but none have worked so far. I'll work on this some
more later.
