So far, all my Androids have been factory unlocked GSM models. Apart from the initial load which may or may not be required, I don't really see any reason why you won't be able to use it as a wifi-only device. I reckon the Moto G should work quite nicely as an Android equivalent to the iPod Touch. I do think this would be a nice upgrade over the Galaxy Nexus and low-end/mid-range Xperias I have right now.
I use my Lumia 920 as a wifi only device. I just turned off my 3G option. I presume Android has a similar option somewhere... (I don't have a 3G android device, so I can't help you there).
