I know that when new rings are installed in 4-cycle engines that it is
generally recommended that the cylinder walls be honed to remove the glaze,
so the the new rings will seat properly. Is the same true of 2-cycle
engines?

I expect it is, but I just thought I'd check.

Most cars are plain cast iron: most outboards are plain aluminum.

Most aluminum cylinders have a sleeve of another, harder material. A
"plain aluminum" cylinder wouldn't live very long.
