With the outages this week I have decided to revisit synchronized multiroom audio. The important feature for me is that it needs to utilize the "cast" button within the Spotify/Tidal/etc apps because that's what my family uses.

Does anything exist other than the chromecast audio pucks?

It’s iOS-specific, but if your family happen to have iOS devices https://github.com/mikebrady/shairport-sync works amazingly with Rpi ZeroWs. But I’d spring for the 2W version for some breathing room, if you could. All the iOS apps I’ve used are able to play to an airplay2 group in sync, but I don’t have either of the apps you called out specifically.
