I think the problem I have is more so that people want my font sizes to be 3x what I have them. Usually I’m presenting a spreadsheet (financial statements and such) and people ask me to zoom in.

Linux users probably already have some weird workflow with X11 virtual buffers to do this.
Xnest is probably enough. I've used it for similar purposes a few times. Don't know the equivalent for Wayland though.
That said, with both the X nesting approach and the Wayland nesting approach, you'd also need to run the screencasting application itself inside the nested server, not the just the application you want to cast. If the compositor supports a way to create headless outputs (as sway and hyprland do) that is much easier.
I’ve been using https://github.com/waydabber/BetterDisplay for this purpose. Does something similar and more. Works great!
That seems to be the flagship feature of DeskPad.
