I don't think I'd be comfortable with it having elaborate editing functionality. PDF editing in a browser is finicky, and an enormous bug fest.
I do PDF editing offline, on the desktop, then re-upload to paperless. Not the most integrated flow, but much more bulletproof. I want the PDFs themselves to be immutable once on paperless. Only metadata should be editable.

It keeps an “original” PDF and presents a working copy for modifications like OCR and metadata. Rotation is important for OCR, so rotate-and-redo is a worthwhile feature.
