Jenkins works reasonably well as a job scheduler. The UI is functional if not pretty, it is fairly easy to configure and use even for a large number of jobs, and the plugin ecosystem allows you to extend it in many ways without writing any code.

If the only way to get a decent cron is to run a full blown Jenkins server it is time I quit the tech industry.

It would be kinda nice if we could pull the job runner out as it’s own thing.

Any decent CI server should do, though exponential back off isn’t something that I’m aware can be configured without custom scripting.
