SurveyJS
Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.
They actually do handle canvas fingerprinting (I don't know to what extend):

and a bunch of others fingerprinting methods.
> I don't have hundreds of cookies set by any website
Are you sure? These are third-party cookies, and it's not easy to get a full list. One way to do it is to go to a major publisher (NYT, CNN, etc) with devtools open and networking enabled. Filter to third party requests and look for ones sending cookies. Trying this on the NYT front page I saw 3p requests with cookies to amazon-adsystem.com, doubleclick.net, prebid.media.net, rubiconproject.com, adnxs.com, 3lift.com, openx.net, google.com, scorecardresearch.com, casalemedia.com, pubmatic.com, bluekai.com, adsrvr.org, bing.com, twitter.com, everesttech.net, criteo.com, dotomi.com, bidswitch.net, mfadsrvr.com, agkn.com, pswec.com, adtdp.com, demdex.net, bidr.io, adition.com, brand-display.com, intentiq.com, w55c.net, pippio.com, rlcdn.com, and adsymptotic.com before I got bored and stopped counting. Some of these might not be for personalized advertising, but most of them look like it.
> browsers would be incentivized to implement with good intentions.
Browsers compete on privacy, and what they do is open source. So while their incentives aren't perfect, external groups (and competing browsers!) can help keep them honest by paying attention and calling attention to bad decisions.
A great example of this was Mozilla's thorough and careful privacy analysis of FLoC (https://blog.mozilla.org/en/privacy-security/privacy-analysi...), and looking at Topics (https://github.com/patcg-individual-drafts/topics) Chrome seems to have spent a lot of time addressing that feedback.
