 Looking for web hosting that
1) is located in the EU (and probably not UK)
2) offers shell access to run deployment scripts (but not necessarily background jobs)
3) has PHP and SQL
and is otherwise bog standard. I definitely do not want to manage a VPS.

SSH + peristent processes + reverse proxy to any service you run by default

That looks very good, thanks.

 If you really want SMB on a remote server, at the very least make sure it's only available on a VPN virtual interface, so you have to establish a secure connection before you can even see the service.

javascript/jquery
Those are entirely client-side and put no requirements on the server side. It's just static files to serve.

I can't imagine any remotely serious host not offering this. It's worth considering whether Let's Encrypt free certs would be good enough or if your users would want the additional verification a paid cert usually offers.

ability to set up web services
Any application hosting (PHP, Python, Rails, whatever) can be made to serve JSON or XML or whatever structured data format you want to use.

shell access and the ability to write and run programs in c++ or other languages
Shell access is probably the defining requirement for you. Also consider whether you need to run scheduled jobs in the background. On shared hosting that's often an additional feature you may have to pay for.

 It's just configuring another Listen address with the extra port, and then setting up a VirtualHost section for that port. Looks like you figured it out.

 Without having read it, all I can think is why not just make a straight up OS distro instead of consuming an existing one??
