PS Suggestions on how to move /var without all this jiggery-pokery are
also welcome.

What you want is a "bind" mount. Something like this:

/zooty/home             /home               none    rw,bind          0 0

I use this to put /home on a bigger disk than the OS was installed on
(and recover /home from previous installs since /zooty/home hangs around).

That "works" (i.e. doesn't give an error and does mount the directory)
...

Of course, I have no idea if something during boot might want
/var prior to even looking at the fstab, so this might not work.

... however the system refuses to boot (SDDM throws an error, then
system reboots). Something doesn't like /var being moved around after
starting, or doesn't like bind mounts for some reason.

My strong hunch is that boot logging gets clobbered.
