the interior of my sea kayaks just don't get much UV exposure.

They get enough that in time the epoxy will start to degrade. If you apply varnish to the interior, that will take a little longer, but given time it will die also.

I generally use an opaque coloring agent (black iron oxide) in the epoxy on the cockpit interior

Pigmenting the epoxy would definitely help, but the surface will still get chalky.
