So if you have a multi-layer switch which is connected via layer 2 switchport to another switch heading to main campus and/or out to core network devices, can you install another device let's say router or FW on a port configured for Layer 3 and traffic will be able to communicate fine as long as the layer 3 IP on the device and "NO Switchport" are in same subnet?

If i understand the question correctly. you looking to connect L3 device like below :
L2 ------L2(L3 port)---L3 port point to point ?

You can do both the ways.
make a trunk between switches, so you can have SVI to communicate with devices.
or if you require to be L3
leave the left SW on l2 configured that port as access port -----configure L3 connected interface with no switch port and IP address of that VLAN.
To make more clarity make a small diagram of what you intend to do with the information.

i do not see as issue on high level, end switch treat as end point with IP address.

If far right side switch has SVI, then you need to do trunking between the switch.
if the far end switch configured as no switchport treat as end device.
