Related #2106.

We currently have a blog post that explains how to do RDP + Visual Studio in Coder, but it requires a local RDP client + port forwarding. Can we find a way to do this with a web-based RDP client as a coder_app in the template?

You don't necessarily have to use RDP.
There are also VNC Servers for Windows like RealVNC which can be started in a headless manner.
I think the first prototype could use VNC then we should find a solution for RDP, but I think an in-house client might have to be made.

If users use noVNC for Linux machines and something else for Windows machines, I think it kinda breaks the UX a bit.

https://github.com/cedrozor/myrtille can be an option. It is a web-based RDP + SSH. It does not seem to be under active development now.

I have created a working demo that deploys a Windows VM on GCP and provides with a web RDP using Myrtille
The template is available here: https://github.com/matifali/coder-templates/tree/main/gcp-windows-rdp
The docs to use the template and RDP are available at: https://coder.com/docs/v2/latest/ides/remote-desktops#rdp-desktop
