Sure, Google Play has nothing to do with your Sim card.

You don't even need a phone.
Ok. Maybe you need a phone.
Technically, you correct. The best kind of correct! OP could use a tablet, a ChromeOS device, an emulator, I think even Google TVs have Play Store access...There's probably someone out there right now trying to use their smart fridge to access the play store
I've used Libby without a SIM card.
I currently use Libby without a SIM card.
I play the Sims without Libby
Definitely! All it requires are having a Google Account.
Yes as long as you have a Gmail account and a payment method you can put on file you can use Google Play without a sim card just over wifi. All a sim card does is connect you to a cellular network, it shouldn't really affect your ability to set up any Google services
yes. use wifi instead of sim-card data and you're all set. i doubt google play services care which way of data transfer you're using to access your account on play store.
That depends on your phone. I have an LG (android lollipop) phone that simply won't let me use the os without a simcard.
If you feel up for a bit of a project, you might be able to disable that "protection" with adb
Yes,I have an android phone without a SIM card that I use with Google play all the time. Itβs never had a sim and has always been wifi only.
Yes
As long as the device has Google Play services
Yes (most Android tablets are used like this too). But if I was you I'd consider the Kobo Clara 2E or Kobo Libra 2 ereader instead.
