I fixed it finally. running totally blind as I could always dd a new u-sd card, I removed avahi* and dhcpcd, then purely on a hunch, elided ALL the extra lines I had added to /e/n/i.d/eth0, leaving only the ipv4 address/24 line and the gateway, pointed at my router. Worked perfectly and has continued to for at least a dozen reboots now. Many thanks to all who tried to help.
