Didn’t the trouble with MathML intensify when Google dropped support? https://www.cnet.com/news/google-subtracts-mathml-from-chrome-and-anger-multiplies/ This should be a warning sign against going all-in with Service Workers and Progressive Web Apps. The browser developers can be very fickle and pursue private agendas - impose and drop features from one day to the next. Isn’t the co-lead of DIGIPUB IG from Google? He hasn’t weighed in with his opinions in this discussion? Anyway, according to my experiences with 5DOC, MathJax delivers the most consistent presentation from browser to browser. And MathJax does work offline although the offline build is quite large - over 1MB.

I'm just trying to defend it until such a replacement becomes a reality.
