I am not claiming that this would be a perfect solution, but Google Sheets (and Docs, Slides, Forms...) allow for [Apps Scripts](https://developers.google.com/apps-script/ https://developers.google.com/apps-script/). Once you get the hang of it, and use tools like [clasp](https://github.com/google/clasp https://github.com/google/clasp), you can create semi-complicated automated workflows; which I still find delightful. For one of my jobs, I created a form, that either on submit or on demand, creates a PDF with the data based off a template made with Slides, and emails it to me and to the person who filled it. The code is as concise as the API allows, that is, not much. But it's saved us the need to have a manual workflow, or setup a server just for this service.
