What I want to know is, on iOS can we have Web Workers running for a few hours when the browser is in the background, with setInterval communicating w the network or will they get suspended?

Don't assume reliability

iOS apps can't really do this so I'd assume browser apps can't either. There are specific background scheduler APIs you need to go through on iOS to do this in which the OS decides when to run these tasks and you have very little control.

The article is from rxdb, which has various mechanisms to handle such considerations
