What is the AT interface capable of?  Can this modem be driven using AT 
commands instead?  Would certainly be easier to debug.

Sort of.  oFono is a full telephony stack, so we expect the basics to be 
provided.  IMSI availability tells us that the SIM has been initialized 
to the point that it is useable.  E.g. PIN has been unlocked/entered.

Are sim operations supported / working on this modem with libqmi?
