The official meshtastic app can only transmit text messages (max ~230 characters) plus location data (GPS). Optionally it can also transmit sensor data (see RAK WisBlock devices, where you can add sensors for temperature, humidity, air quality).

Can the mesh control plane be orchestrated/monitored/bridged by out of band comms like cellular IP or StarLink?

Yes to all of these, there is a managed mode where nodes are controlled via commands from a command channel. Bridging networks is done via MQTT so you can use virtually any transport.
