I spotted a bunch of used Pi 5's complete with PSU, and so bought one. I set that up with Bookworm, on a SD card, then hit another snag. I lacked any way to connect it to a display. I needed a micro HDMI to HDMI cable...

No, but the micro HDMI sockets are fragile, especially if a heavy adapter is used to connect a full sized cable, instead of using a specific micro HDMI cable.
It's probably why the machines were being sold off, but if you only intend to use one display, it shouldn't be a problem.
