I mean I never understood AGPL for client-side code to be honest. Would the GPL not cover this use case? My understanding of the license is that the GPL would of been enough, unless the AGPL has some terms I'm not aware of that aren't server specific like ensuring access to code in unobsfucated form or something.

AGPLv3 is a superset of GPLv3. If you never expect your code to be hosted the GPL is all you need to guarantee user freedoms.

I don't think your expectations are the limit, but rather what your users (and their users) will end up actually doing, whether or not you expect or foresee it.
