One limitation is dynamic range, which you can see if you try to
photograph the interior of a cathedral or church where the interiors are
mostly lit by daylight coming in through the windows.

That's a function of 'film speed'.

Modern digital cameras can adjust to provide the illusion of different film
speeds.

. These days, tripods are not only frowned upon in
interiors but in exterior public spaces as well in many European cities.

Erm...

No they're not...

Few places sell film these days and I only find one place selling the 6V
battery needed for my old Canon SLR and it's from Germany and it costs
$12.

Try Ebay, like everybody else...

Online it's about the same after shipping and film also runs $5-10 a
roll, then another $5-10 just for developing and then probably about $10
for scanning.

Process your own film for pennies, then buy a 35mm film scanner for about
£50 ($75, this week)

It's not difficult.

Even if I gathered all these materials, it's not likely the places I
would like to photograph would permit tripods or long setups.

Why not?

Have you considered asking them.

The reality is that many major European places of interest that restrict
photography will sell you a license to take pictures, but they'd much rather
sell you their own professionally produced photographs.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.
