As the title says, is deploying/using applications through Java Web Start a viable option? I found a few posts online from years ago saying that the JavaME applications are only available.

You can just read the jnlp file in a text editor to download the file, but the . jar file you download wouldn't be written to run in Android, so downloading it would be of no use anyway.
This means that clients that have the latest version of Java installed can no longer use JWS-based applications. And since public support of Java 8 has ended in Q2/2019, companies no longer get any updates and security fixes for Java Web Start.
Rocket Open Web Launch (OWL) is an open-source solution that's easy to set up, easy to use, and available to anyone who needs it. It's designed to run any application as configured in its JNLP file against a Java version which may no longer officially support Java Web Start.
Java Web Start is included in the Java Platform, Standard Edition development kit (JDK) and Java Runtime Environment (JRE), and includes the security features of the Java platform.
No, it's not an option. Android has an Application Store (called Android Market) that serves a similar purpose: managing applications install, updates and versions... So, technically, you don't need JWS.
