Do you mean tables when converting HTML to PDF, or simply rendering the PDFs with tables in them?

simply rendering tables - most of the (python) pdf generation libraries I evaluated a few years ago all had the same limitations (reflow is hard) around laying out large multipage tables. We went with a headless chrome service to print to pdf which did not have the limitation.
We've had customers in beta trying it out with multi-page tables and we've heard positive feedback.
