To confirm, will a first-time-visiting non-Spanish-speaker with only credit cards have any problems using a local taxi as described above? Any firms I should use to be sure no problems with language or cards? Any other gotchas?
The from-airport transport, no problem. You should inquire about your return to SCL (if you are returning to SCL) when you purchase your airport--->city trip because you might have difficulty making a reservation with them for the return. Their websites don't always function well, and calling will be difficult.
My few UBER "within the city" experiences have been fine. You could also take UBER back to the airport.
As far as your " I won't be anywhere where I need cash during my visit so won't be getting any cash" statement, as much as I'm not going to give advice (and so I won't), I'll state my own thoughts on the matter. "I wouldn't want to be anywhere that I don't have the means to get where I need to be should there be some incident of whatever, i.e., the credit card networks go down, my phone is stolen, UBER has an app failure, etc." But those are just thoughts for myself and not intended to be advice for anyone else.
