The 'N' in particular is very worth watching. There are really no good answers, but at least an intentional answer is better than an accidental answer.
Troika text (a font-to-signed-distance-functions tool) can do a lot of the heavy lifting of using fonts in WebGL apps. It can also do the process of converting from font data to SDFs in glsl, so it's fast. No idea if it supports variable fonts these days though. https://github.com/protectwise/troika/tree/main/packages/tro...
I'm even more outside the loop, what happens if on my personal blog I don't have any analytics and don't do any metering so I have no idea how many visitors I get?
On the contrary, I would say this is increasingly unusual nowadays. There are print restrictions on e.g. iStock content, but there's no attempt to "ration" the number of visitors that see a stock photo at a specific price point.
It's something that's generally put me off from licensing paid fonts - despite the work that has gone into them, because you're almost signing a blank cheque and it's not easy to know how many visitors are scraping content for LLMs.
Create text in higher resolution, rasterize it, warp it would be my process, if I needed to curve the characters themselves too. In case I didn't, because the shape is not that small compared to the text, simply wrapping around the shape works. Usually there's a tool to create a path, and then text can go along that path, as if the path were its baseline.

Very cool

Some vector graphics software allows you to deform objects to conform to a path. Text can easily be transformed to editable path objects.
Example in Inkscape:
