IS a beaglebone black sufficiently close to a raspberry pi3 that I can use the RPI3 environment for beaglebone black dev? If not, what's required to implement on a new platform?
I think you can't simply reuse the rpi3 env, but you can use it as a template to how to get this working for the beaglebone black.
So you would need to get a cross compiler and then extract the sysroot to compile Qt on your own. After you got Qt compiled, you will also need to make some changes similar to these [1]
But I think the hardest part might be to get Qt compiled for the beaglebone black, because the info I found online seems to be a bit outdated.

Does this work on embedded devices without desktop environment?
If Qt supports it, then you can probably get it working with this binding as well.
