should we try to integrate WSexport functionalities into more general tool? (for the second option, we need to exchange about our specific needs and desires).

This was already done with mwlib for ZIM and EPUB, but then WMF trashed it. Three years ago we were told "ePUB and ZIM are likely to return", now how much do you believe PDFs will ever work again? https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-ambassadors/2014-September/00... https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T97672 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T73660

The Italian Wikisource users have used PDF exports nonetheless for a few things, although they are not as useful as the ZIM exports. Please don't rely on assumptions about uselessness of something for you to decide that it's fine to make that something worse.
