PWA support is improving, though. https://firt.dev/ios-15.4b (that post is based on a beta, it’s possible noted bugs will be fixed already, though this is Apple we’re talking about…)

I tried playing around with PWAs the other day, but certain like [0] seem to really jeopardize the "Progressive" part of PWAs which is one of their major differentiatiors.

What pwa support…? safari's fixed element is like bugged forever since safari 11 or 12. You can't even have a properly fixed header or footer without crazy hack (like wrap the whole site into a fixed element). I don't really know. If they aren't actively sabotaging web app, why such a big obvious problem is left untouched like that.
