Some way to be able to set the addon name dynamically in the libraries OnAddOnLoaded ... So that addon developers don't have to modify the library file to put their addon name in there?

1) Use EVENT_PLAYER_ACTIVATED instead. The drawback is you can't actually use the data before then. For research data, that might not be an issue.
1b) If users do need some sort of activate-level code on it, you could register callbacks to be fired when the SavedVariables is available. You could either write your own callback manager or use a ZO_CallbackObject (either your own or even EVENT_MANAGER).
2) The manual initialization function would work. Either set it as an explicit .init() or require users to only instantiate your library during the init function or later.
3) If Minion ever handles dependencies, you could just create it stand-alone. I know it was mentioned awhile back as a feature they were looking at doing, but who knows the timeline for that.
