No worries! I'm always leeching from the open source community so I'd thought to give back haha.

The visualisation library I'm using is by Ant Design (Alibaba).

You can see some examples below from the documentation.

Re syncing with real CouchDB - I haven't implemented that yet but from what I read, its definitely possible with PouchDB.

Re I have a bunch of Express APIs that expose PouchDB so I can do basic CRUD operations such as creating resources etc.

It is definitely possible to sync with CouchDB. I've just found that the uncertainty around how to do authz/authn (CouchDB recommends, now, that you do this in your own proxy layer) and the difficulties to make sure the entire process works, makes debugging tricky. I've tried with a variety of NodeJS+CouchDB and PouchDB-server and nothing gives me a solution which I don't have to babysit quite a bit.
