Other thing I've come across is iron on glue - paper backed. You iron that
on, let it dry, remove the paper, then iron on the veneer. Says suitable
for up to 1mm veneer.


You could use a hide glue, and iron it on.

My own thoughts exactly. Might need a little practice and a veneer hammer but thats how it was done for years. One advantage would be re-positioning or repair ability as it would just require heat to soften the glue. Check youtube for hammer veneering

Impact adhesive would give a very permanent fix. Interpose sheets of paper before laying down the veneer and gradually draw them back as you apply the veneer.
