Well, no joy in Mudville.
I disabled Secure Boot by deleted the PK key, which did indeed result in the motherboard BIOS recognizing that Secure Boot was disabled. And, it recognizes the NVMe drive as the boot device, indeed the only boot device, which is good.
But ... despite all that, it still does not boot. I tried it with CSM on and CSM off, still no boot. Efibootmgr this time *did* list the NVMe drive as an EFI option (after the USB flash drive), but still no boot. Tried it with various options enabled and disabled, still no joy.
Damned if I can figure it out. I feel like I'm getting closer ... but no way forward seems obvious. Any ideas? Any reason to think that another motherboard might be less difficult to get up and running?

Are you able to get to a grub boot screen or not. Does it not reach Linux or it a issue with the BIOS still. There are one of three issues it seems: 1. Buggy BIOS and therefore you may need to flash it 2. If your getting to grub then its a Linux issue somewhere in the runlevels configuration so try single user mode 3. There is a missing option in the BIOs that you need to check, not sure which as I'm not aware of that board's firmware I has this issue with my system after reinstalling a drive and it was a missed setting in the firmware.
