I’ve tried Retool in the past. Really enjoyed it. https://retool.com
Spending over a decade programming makes it extremely difficult to reason about the the precise level of "okay, I can do this" from a semi-technical perspective.
Why not start out by using the Django Admin features? That allows you to start with next to no code, but you can easily add a little business logic anywhere you need it eventually, and it provides a way to long term transition to a true application if the need arises.
I find answers in this format annoying. Why not? Maybe he's never heard of it. Great answer, but let's not assume he's considered it and decided not to.

This is definitely the correct approach! This will take a few minutes to implement and be significantly more stable and full-featured than any low/no-code solution.
How does one get started with Django Admin?
Would this tutorial be a good start? https://first-django-admin.readthedocs.io/
- Strapi (https://github.com/strapi/strapi)
- Directus (https://github.com/directus/directus)
- React Admin (https://github.com/marmelab/react-admin)
- Netlify CMS - a bit off the mark but maybe worth considering (https://github.com/netlify/netlify-cms)

I'm pushing ~$120 million this year through that exact model. Use what works. Throwaway for obvious reasons.

My general rule of thumb for such tools is that the easy things should be easy and the hard things should be possible.

Is Retool usable enough for non-technical people? "It's easy, just wire it up to your REST service" may be scary for non-technical people. Maybe the persona isn't well-defined enough. They're somewhat technical, but don't code. Spending over a decade programming makes it extremely difficult to reason about the the precise level of "okay, I can do this" from a semi-technical perspective.
However, once the data is wired up, getting it wired to the various components was pretty straight forward.
