Yes, it sounds like the missing link here is a tool for creating the list
of resources to offline.  Z made one particular specification, but I
suppose it could be made a little more general, and potentially even
leverage some existing general-purpose pageset curation tools, such as
PetScan.  AFAIK, PetScan currently doesn't support the use-case of "get me
N levels of pages linked from this first page (or from these P first
pages)", but we can imagine (and advocate for) PetScan supporting it at
some point.

Then, a PetScan query ID (which is enough to generate the page-set) can be
an input to the Wikipedia-on-Demand tool, the problem is solved. (Well,
almost: we'd still need to specify the logic for collecting related
resources -- i.e. none/some/all images included in the pages, Wikidata
items, etc.)
