As much as an indulgent project like this appeals to my self-centred dork side, finding bits such as appropriate cranks does sound like a ballache, and it’s not like my 7yo kid will truly care about or appreciate the end result.
100% agreed. I only did it because I acquired the bike, had a bunch of spare parts to upgrade it, access to a workshop for lots of consumables and the time and inclination to fettle it.

Thanks for the tips!

I’ll probably end up just getting a second-hand Islabike 24 & slapping some meatier tyres on it.
