pardon me but cloudflare workers seem better for this approach.

If we can get for the fact that we require javascript to run it, aside from that. Cloudflare workers is literally the best single thing to happen at least to me. With a single domain, I have done so many personal projects for problems I found interesting and I built so many projects for literally free, no Credit card. No worries whatsoever.

I might ditch writing other languages for server based like golang even though I like golang more just because cloudflare workers exists.
