I found the problem. InuSasha's hint as to his version gave me some info to work with. I have MySQL 5.7.19 and he has 5.7.20. One of the main things that changed is that as of 5.7.20 query cache is disabled. I was using query cache so on a hunch I disabled it.
Now Kodi starts normally, although I see in the debug log that queries are executed appx. 10 times slower (300ms vs 30ms before). Thanks to all who took the time to work with me!
