The idea is to automate it to the point of installing the OS and setting it up to launch an SSH server autonomously, and maybe activating the system beeper once it's ready. Then, I should be able to connect to it using another machine and complete the setup from there.

I want to automate it as much as possible. I have another system with graphics output that I want to reinstall anyway, so I can use that to debug whatever automated installer I choose. And then I have a laptop that I can use to flash the USB drives needed for the installation.

Could you please elaborate? In what part of that process do I need a graphics adapter?

I do want to confirm that I am able to boot into a USB and type in commands blindly. My PC does respond to it (it responds to the shutdown command). I just need a way to install Arch and setup an SSH server with minimal human interaction.

I have built a system without integrated non dedicated GPU for server usage, and I want to get terminal output. I have another system that I can plug the boot drive in to install the OS to. In the long term, I want to set up SSH. But I need some way of interfacing with the PC during the SSH...
