Title says it - I want a simple CA that doesn't overcomplicate things (looking at you, EJBCA). I need it to serve at least CRLs or better OCSP automatically for the certs it manages. If it comes with a Web GUI, all the better, but doesn't need to. Docker deployment would be sweet.

Currently handling this on an OPNSense I happen to be running, but that thing is also serving stuff to the public 'net, so I'd rather not have my crown jewels on there.

I'm a trained netsec professional so handling keys and such is not really a hassle for me. What is a hassle IMO is having to manually do more things than hitting the "revoke" button to fully properly revoke a certificate, so that's where the CRL/OCSP req comes from.

Looks like that part is something you really only get for free with EJBCA, which I've tried and found very exhausting to use for my home network. If I had to pick one for work I'd probably go with EJBCA though, seems worth the effort if you're doing more complex things.
