How well does this handle large tables that span pages? That seems to be a key differentiator for most PDF libs I sampled. I'd assume this works well if it's coming from Chromium

If you have a sample HTML you wanna try, you can use https://pspdfkit.com/pdf-sdk/web/pdf-generation/ and paste HTML there - the generation engine is virtually the same.

Do you mean tables when converting HTML to PDF, or simply rendering the PDFs with tables in them?

simply rendering tables - most of the (python) pdf generation libraries I evaluated a few years ago all had the same limitations (reflow is hard) around laying out large multipage tables. We went with a headless chrome service to print to pdf which did not have the limitation.
