I run into a (to me) more annoying behavior on a 13” MacBoon Pro - the machine will start and let me login with < 3% displayed and then shut off within a few moments after login, presumably because startup actions pegged the battery and drained it back to a shutoff state. Would much prefer the machine not start until I can login and work.

I don't think it's actually possible to do that. You would have to be able to know 100% of the side effects of every possible configuration of software and attached(USB) peripherals and their potential full future power draw _before_ your machine starts anything.
