@bitinn Turned out a Common UI widget was blocking input for the entire game, because it was initialized as active, and it took us two days to find out because it was also initialized as invisible, which is not the same thing.
The underlying problem is that Unreal is a collection of autonomous but heavily interconnected systems, so setting anything up correctly means looking into several unrelated places. It's particularly bad with the UI, but other modules have this issue, too.

Friends don't let friends work with Unreal UI systems.

@bitinn The twist here is we did actually consider the possibility, so we changed the settings for the widget blueprint, but we forgot to check the instance of that blueprint within another widget. I actually checked that widget myself, but I missed this one subwidget because it was hidden inside a layout widget. It's like Unreal actively resists standard debug procedures sometimes.
