That's really a solved problem. As an example, Google manages to have a web version of Youtube that works on iOS mobile Safari adequately. (It's not perfect but it works.)

There doesn't seem to be anything snowflake special the Patreon iOS app needs to do that a web app cannot handle.

Does it support playing media even when it’s backgrounded? Stuff like Picture in Picture?

Youtube is unusable on any platform without ad blocking, so who cares :)
