As the title suggests, in a situation where a player casts austere command and selects enchantments and either of the creature options, if a creature has a divinity token from Kindred Boon would it survive because both effects of the spell resolve at the same time?

No, the creatures will die. Like all modal spells, the chosen options of the Command are resolved in the order they are written on the card, not simultaneously. So by the time the destroy creatures option gets resolved, the Boon is already gone and the creatures are no longer indestructible.
However, another board wipe that hits all creatures and enchantments at once (eg, Planar Cleansing) would allow the creatures to survive, since it's a single action destroying them all, not two successive actions.
