My end goal is to be able to deploy a multiplayer web game (or if not web, with dedicated servers), with lobbies/arenas/matchmaking.

One potential solution for this is to integrate with Agones.

Pros:

scalable
bevy is abstracted: just needs to be a server container, which hooks up in the SDK for matchmaking, etc.
rust client

Another good alternative would be running a Rivet instance. Been working with them for some time now. Really good matchmaking they have imo.

Just saw this mention. There are a handful of Bevy games being built with Rivet, but they're all winging it since there's no official Bevy lib & networked example yet. We haven't had a chance to publish any Bevy demos yet.

I would love to help out on getting a demo together if possible. Happy to provide free hosting for demos if interested.

Edit: Just realized we've already chatted before on Discord haha

Yes, I've tried getting rivet to work, but at the time it was a bit painful because the docs were pretty sparse. I ended up using Edgegap to get some demos up
