However, OP is specifically trying to avoid using this route, because he’s concerned about people having trouble with setting it up on their client devices, so he just wants to bypass all that and to have a Web UI where one uploads the document after it’s been rendered to a PDF or similar.

The CUPS server should just work out of the box (not including printer setup) for Windows and Android as well. If the server you use is based on a recent-ish version from OpenPrinting (as it was on Debian 12, so about three years old), it should also work out of the box for iOS.
