We're using Chrome Headless inside Docker to produce thousands of PDF reports from an Angular/D3 web app.

It works very well, but there are some gotchas with regard to the Chrome Remoting Interface.

Can you elaborate on some of the issues you're having in the Chrome Remote Interface?
Yeah, D3 is what we're working with as well; also need to be able to embed the charts in Powerpoint, but that'll be a different story. All fun and games.
You can use inkscape’s CLI interface to get SVG from pdf, and then manipulate that with any XML editing library automatically
Is this open source? It would be very interesting to take a look at!
