Will the SEO Gods punish me if I just do a timed redirect using the page action, instead of doing a 301 redirect?

Yes. They will hate you very much. To the point of ignoring you
completely.

Is there any evidence of that being true? I had a quick look and couldn’t find much, other than someone reporting that if the time until the redirect is short the page you redirect to is indexed, otherwise it’s the page with the redirect that’s indexed. That’s with a client or server redirect. Estimated source reliability? I’d say about 20%

Nothing empirical, and sorry for passing opinion off as fact.
I really do sincerely believe that it is true, since Google reads Web
pages so quickly, and even a timed redirect of 0 is not as fast as the
DOM load that has to happen before the Meta refresh can happen.
Google’s crawler can read the page while the DOM is loading, after all.
A 301 is honest, forthright, and says clearly – “This page, which
used to be here, is now over there. This is final, permanent, don’t
come back here looking for it.” In my opinion, it’s just the Right
Thing To Do.
