It has worked in Prince for years and years for converting HTML+CSS -> paged output:

(Since 2004, Prince has also been worked on by one of the co-creators of CSS... and a lot of the CSS3 Paged Media stuff is based upon Prince's groundwork.)

For more bleeding-edge info on CSS pages (even showing it off in the browser), see the ebookcraft 2019 talk, "Pagination in the Browser: Why, What, and How".

Around 37 mins, she also shows Paged.js (Pajedjs.org + their Github), where you can use some of this stuff right now.
