Comment on Could anyone recommend me a self-hosteable TinkerCAD equivalent?

Would love to learn if it exists too. I use it often.

The only other way I know how to CAD is github.com/pythonscad/pythonscad

Unrelated but BTW FreeCAD is fully python scriptable. In fact, as I understand it, every operation is first translated to python code.

  Yeah, and it outright isn’t documented.

    FreeCAD’s Python functions are all well organized in different modules. Some of them are already loaded (imported) when you start FreeCAD. Just try:
    
    dir()

There is also Cascade Studio (Demo). Sadly development has stalled, it was a really cool project.

Probably not at all what OP is looking for though since TinkerCAD is just sketch/primitive type workflow, not like openscad.
