We ended up writing a similar wrapper around https://github.com/jung-kurt/gofpdf library. We haven't open sourced it yet. But it's made it a lot easier to deal with rendering a PDF, especially over pagebreaks ect.

I'd use html/template or Handlebars SSR for simplicity's sake. It's going to be 10x easier, quicker, and you won't notice costs at low levels of usage.
