I think you need to separate this into two options (and you need the "--"),
i.e., something like this:

--pdf-engine-opt=--footer-html --pdf-engine-opt=footer.html

I have got page numbers etc. working with wkhtmltopdf. See the extended
help (-H) and look for "Footers And Headers". I modified the example
JavaScript.

However, I am looking to replace wkhtmltopdf with typst. More on this
anon...
