So far what I have is my Pi booting with a splash screen (no boot text) right up to the point where you'd normally login, at which point it auto-logs in (but throws a couple of lines of text onto the screen

the browser, but since it's still the terminal TTY as well a couple of error messages come up on top later.

The key to resolving this for me, in case anyone is interested, was: sudo systemctl disable getty@tty1.service sudo systemctl enable getty@tty2.service

Basically (as I understand it) disable login on tty1 and enable it on tty2. That removed the login text from the visible TTY on startup but still allows me to Alt-Ctrl-F2 to get to a terminal if I need to.
