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.) A.
