Xpra (see https://github.com/Xpra-org/xpra-html5) is very similar to Guacomole, except the backend Xpra server is written in Python (and Cython), whereas Guacomole's server is written in Java and C. Xpra native frontends, but also an html5 frontend that you can embed in web applications. For example, CoCalc provides a modified version of that html5 frontend to serve graphical X11 apps: https://cocalc.com/features/x11

Hrvach/Deskhop: Fast Desktop Switching Device
20 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 27 Dec 2023

No one has mentioned ShareMouse yet? (https://www.sharemouse.com/) In my experience it has worked way better than Synergy. I switched after getting fed up with the synergy developers not responding to various multi-year old bugs that made the software unworkable for me (e.g. https://github.com/symless/synergy-core/issues/5992).
The only downside is that you have to "renew maintenance" to continue receiving updates to ShareMouse after a year. But I haven't done that yet and it still works fine for me.

Not sure if this is what you're asking, but I've been using Synergy Pro (Windows, macOS, Linux) for years, and it works seamlessly. It lets you share your mouse and keyboard across multiple systems (with or w/o encryption), copy and paste between computers, etc.

Is there such thing as a Dual Hub that let's me use the same peripherals (keyboard, mouse, usbs, headphones) between my Mac mini and PC?

I previously used a software solution to do the same thing and it was actually really good, better even. It might have been this software but I have to check to be sure - https://symless.com/synergy - as I’m not at my laptop right now.
