Since Mozilla first made Lightning built in to Thunderbird, and I

also providing anything "under the hood"? ...like interprocess communication,
communication between processes and the kernel, or other things not visible to me? I
wouldn't want to "hit myself" with Joe's "Big Hammer",

As I said already, evolution-data-server does provide various services
in a Gnome desktop, not just for Evolution.
You might want to ask further on the Evolution mailing list, where
you're likely to get more informed answers. See:
