Need to be Apple?
Take a look at the Mighty Vibe. It's on Amazon. It's an iPod for Spotify.

Android devices (or mine at least) have a kids mode where you can choose the apps they have access to. No access to settings, store or whatever else if you don't grant them access.

I think so.
Idk about settings or nova launcher, but it seems like the right way. You can have multiple users on an android phone, so I wonder if there's a way to utilise that.
Unfortunately the battery life on my spare androids are a bit shit, otherwise I'd offer to drop one off to you.
+1 to an SD card and I'd also think about something physically small.
setup a separate network on your wifi
Kinda think if your eldest is 9yo you need to do this regardless of whatever you do with the phone for your kid.
We have TP Link Deco 4 routers and the TP Link app allows all of this to be incredibly easily set up and managed with no knowledge of networking required. The only issue is that if you have things like Chromecasts then you can't cast if you're on a different network.

Clueless apple guy over here - I want to give my kid (9) a 'device' that he can use for spotify, audible, borrowbox. only - nothing else - I wan't him to be able to get into music/audio (like i did with a sony tape walkman) - without having to helicopter parent over youtube / games / web access. Is modding an old android phone with nova launcher the way ?
