Now for the real question. When the net instantaneous
power is 0 at a point with non zero power on each side
of that point, is any energy transferred?

The answer is - of course - equal amounts in either
direction. The sum of the two Poynting vectors is
zero.

Until you can provide a reference or example of a
reflection occurring in a homogeneous medium, you
have proven nothing except that you can fantasize.
Ramo & Whinnery imply that reflections are impossible
unless the reflection coefficient changes magnitude
which it doesn't with a constant Z0.
