I'm trying to install everything non-interactively, so the part where the enrollment token goes into Kibana via the web browser, that's a no-no.  
I tried to mimic the actions it takes by doing it once and trying to figure out what it did on my kibana.yml, but those base64 keys are nothing I manage to reproduce myself in any way.

What steps should I take in automating the installing of Kibana on top of an ES?

How are you doing the installation non-interactively? Elastic does have documentation for manual installation and configuration, and those steps can be automated with Ansible, for example. It's also possible to generate the enrollment token with a command line curl request - the trick there is to parse out the returned value that contains the token so it can be placed in the appropriate kibana.yml line.
