If I start playback by clicking the start/stop button, I can stop playback using the spacebar on my computer's keyboard. Is there a way to make the spacebar begin playback, too? Is there a way to assign a computer key rather than a midi control to buttons in the small playback group?

Yes.
Open the Playback plug-in, then from the Action menu choose Start with Play Action.

Groups have the Play action connected.
You only need to do this on one instance of the same group.

I'm new to MainStage (not a very well kept secret, I know), so is there a way of quickly applying that configuration item to many patches simultaneously? (besides Keyboard Maestro again) Thanks.
Are you using different playback instances on each patch?
I copied the patch, then changed playback files. The menu item wasn’t selected after copying.
Copying a patch should replicate this setting.
I can not confirm this behavior here.
Playback plug-in - Make space key start as well as stop
