Plain L2TP... when I googled today to find the port number, I noticed that L2TP is not encrypted on its own and I should use L2TP/IPsec... I had not realized that... oops!... gonna look into switching that!

Yep, LT2P by itself is very useful for tunnelling, but not encryption!

That's perfect, a full stealth result.
That's one possible cause for the NVR behaving oddly now eliminated - it's not accessible from the internet such that any vulnerabilities could have been exploited.
Well, not even 24 hours after I connected the NVR to test and disconnected it, I came home from running errands this morning at 10 am, turned on the monitor and it was displaying channel 1 instead of the camera overview screen. Something is definitely up with this NVR
Hmm. Let's run a test. Reset the NVR back to the overview screen. Leave disconnected from the Internet completely. Monitor for a week, see if it's stable.
If it is, then connect it to the Internet for a few minutes, disconnect and monitor for the next 24hours. If it again goes weird after, and only after, connecting to the net, then it's systematic.

Update 2 hours ago: Again, I turned on the monitor, and it was on channel 1 cam instead of the camera overview screen. So, I decided to check the log - it was cleared. Interesting.
I rebooted the NVR and viewed the log. This time it showed all the events associated with the reboot of the NVR. Checked the log and details carefully. All but one camera showed as logged local with no user or group. Curiously, camera 10 shows as logged local, user: default, User Group for the login/initialization. It's the only camera that shows a user and group
