I used to do it like that as well, but clients want a mobile app and management decided to give them a PWA, because then we could use the existing backend (Perl, Mojolicious, SQL). I now agree with them if it keeps the lights on.

Just focus on being mobile friendly, hardly anyone cares about PWAs and the crazy setup of JavaScript workers to make it work.

I'm quite surprised to hear this is a common thing. Besides myself, I don't know a single person who has ever installed a PWA. For people in tech, despite knowing they exist. For people outside tech, they don't know they exist in the first place.
Does management actually have any PWAs installed themselves?
