At least when I last tried the android version of the Apple Music app, when you're technically but not reliably connected to the Internet (captive portal, crappy signal quality, etc), operations like play/next track/previous track would hang for 60 seconds before the UI responded

Yeah you need to navigate to “Library -> Downloaded Music” and play from there. Otherwise it will try and phone home.
