[tex4ht] Can make4ht locate .cfg files from same path used for TEXINPUTS? or some other PATH?

Yes, but it looks in scripts tree, so something like:

$HOME/texmf/scripts/lua/mybuild/filename.mk4

You need it only when you want to change default settings, add a 
cimpilation step, like BibTeX, etc. It is not needed in general.

I think you don't need it. First of all, it compiles your TeX file four 
times, instead of default three times, so it is slower. And as you don't 
use SVG math anymore, you don't really need to configure 
`dvisvgm_hashes` extension.

I hope I answered your questions :)

Best,
