To start things off, here's a very cool online guitar chord generator for people learning how to play the guitar:

Lots of fun and can certainly result in some cacophonous chaos!

There’s a whole ecosystem of browser based daws, synths, and drum machines. I haven’t gone down the rabbit hole, because a lot of them break on mobile.

I think there are paid apps which do essentially the same thing as this. Very nice.

Not really, many of them have UI issues that break on mobile.

That's the point of my post. Have you tried using "desktop mode"? Desktop mode for Safari (but still on an iPad or iPhone) is the mode where it loads sites the same as on a desktop, unlike the standard "mobile mode". In other words, you use desktop mode to load websites that break in mobile mode.

Just found a free online resource with literally millions of downloadable samples, sound packs and so on.

If you filter the search results, there are sound packs like drums kits (for example).
