Aha - you were correct about the Viera Link settings - they were disabled on the TV. Once turned back on, the TV will wake the AppleTV as expected.
So far... *touch wood* it is all behaving as expected but I will continue to sneak up on it for a day or two to see if the potential booting issues are resolved. If it behaves for a bit, I will mark the post as Solved.
Thanks for the help, everyone and I am glad it looks like we don't even have to order any parts!
