I have a couple of plano boxes:
I want to cut shapes into the top plastic panel, including circles and squares. It does not need to look that good, and the circles don't need to be hole saw quality etc
Can I /diy/ this shit with some very basic tools? I would really prefer to avoid using heated tools if at all possible (specifically I don't want to use a soldering iron)
Some kinda very mini xacto-saw?

Plastic scoring tool. Create an outline with tape and score it until it's thin enough to punch in.
You'll want to sand it after

For circles, I would use a step bit. For squares, use a good knife
red-hot knife or box-cutter. Do it outside though lol. You can also use hot-water and a power drill if they just need to be holes
Aviation tin snips. If they'll cut sheet steel they'll cut thin plastic. They'll cut thick plastic for that.

I have one of these. They suck. Too flimsy.
Flip the case open, mark with a sharpie, score with exacto. Or trace with a heated anything. Don't be a pussy. Melting it will make the edges less sharp.
soldering iron

Just curious, what are your plans for it? I've considered cutting some myself for X-Wing Miniatures.
Just buy a fucking dremel and save yourself a huge hassle. Cut the geometrics with circular blades and round bits for holes. It's so fucking easy to use. I'm surprised when anyone on DIY doesn't have a dremmel

Even better, apparently the Black & Decker $30 rotary tool is worth using and fits Dremel brand stuff.

Burr bit in a power drill and some hobby knives.
Or just a hammer and a chisel.
