I really love your project. It is a giant pain in the ass to get BasiliskII and/or SheepShaper working, at least the few times I've messed with them. Is it possible to run this offline or in some kind of encapsulated web app form?

If you have experience with QEMU now there is good support for MacOS 8/9/X in ppc and there is an alpha version with initial support for System 7/8/A/UX on 68k. It's still a PITA but at least it's similar to the PITA of other QEMU VMs, which you may be familiar with.
There's a professor at Columbia University that has good prebuilt SheepShaver packages with OS 9:

There's not much in the way of third-party software included in these images, but it's a good starting point.

I'll testify to this software, I use it on my i9 Catalina Mac and it works great.
macintosh.js (https://github.com/felixrieseberg/macintosh.js/) is an Electron packaged version of an earlier iteration of the BasiliskII Emscripten port.
