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

Surely science has developed better glues than traditional ones made from
what was left over from an animal kill? ;-)

Boiled dead bits is still the best glue for some jobs.
PVA is a hot melt glue, don't know whether the melt temp is suitable for this job - easy enough to try. PVA isn't good at gap filling though.
