I would say every one of those except the SVG icons put PWA's at a huge disadvantage, to the point of being borderline unusable.

Do you feel like the current state of PWA's in iOS presents a viable alternative to publishing an app for any real usecase?

Having played with several PWAs on Android and Windows where support is better, I’m not sure that they’d be any more popular even if Safari filled those feature holes. The average PWA experience sits somewhere between underwhelming and uncompelling, primarily because SPAs in general are anything but consistently good. For PWAs to not be bad, SPAs need to stop being bad first.

A ton of "Native Apps" are SPA's using React native, Cordova, et al. The problem is not the tech, the problem is the arbitrary feature gating (including the kinds of tricks that React Native is able to leverage when packaging an app vs running in a mobile browser).
