We've been toying with duckly (née gitduck) - and it provides shared web browsing, shared editing, and shared terminal. There might be some rough edges with the in-browser "window management" - but overall it works pretty well IMHO:

https://duckly.com/tools/terminal

Unfortunately not self-hosted.

We briefly tried tmate - do yourself a favour and get the upstream build (available as static binaries for Linux) - it's a bit finky about versions.

Eg via: https://github.com/tmate-io/tmate/releases/tag/2.4.0 get https://github.com/tmate-io/tmate/releases/download/2.4.0/tm... and drop the extracted binary in ~/bin or something.

You can self-hosted tmate, but imnho tmate doesn't add that much value over "grant user ssh access and use plain shared tmux/screen".

In that case, you might (for workstation/laptop) have co-worker's on vpn via wireguard /tailscale, bind sshd to the vpn interface, and allow access via ssh keys/certificates.
