Device Owner Provisioning
We have access to Google Play Store, but it seems to be severely limited and doesn't look like we can enter the setup wizard after a factory reset which leans me into thinking that it is AOSP in the end.
Is building our own DPC agnostic to having access to Android Enterprise and Android Management API?
All Android devices have integrated management APIs, solutions like AMAPI offer a layer over this to manage devices via their own DPC, but nothing stops you building your own.
The only note is access to the APIs needed to pull an app from the play store have been removed for custom DPCs, so in your use case you'd deliver your APK(s) directly, and then leverage the on-Device APIs to set kiosk and related policies yourself.
You'll be responsible for the device communication between your servers and the DPC, but otherwise you should be able to build something that achieves your goals without using a 3rd party.. though as I said AOSP MDMs exist with APK deployment if you don't want to roll your own.
