pypilot has a plugin for opencpn which is used for controlling pypilot.
pypilot also has a plugin for openplotter which is supposed to help it configure and set up pypilot. It currently has a few pitfalls. One thing it should support for example is a checkbox to enable the pypilot hat's lcd.
So the hat is fine most likely. To get a display it needs the "pypilot_hat" service running which like the pypilot opencpn plugin is not the core of pypilot, it is a control interface. The various control interfaces can run locally or remotely and are used to control/configure pypilot as well as display information and feedback.
You can see which services of pypilot are running a few ways one is "ps aux | grep python"
