> weird quirks to deal with like the delay between the audio in and when you hear it, as well as it becoming desynced over time.
You may want to check out Snapcast. I use it to distribute audio to 6 clients on diverse hardware (several Raspberry Pis, a Windows PC, a Linux PC) and it handles synchronized playback very well, after tweaking the latency offsets for each device (once).

(Edit: Ok, Snapcast doesn't get rid of the delay. But it does keep the players in sync, if you can tolerate some delay between source and speakers.)
