as such, but my employer's upload form thinks isn't. Is pdfinfo reliable enough
that I can tell my employer his form is broken? If not, how can I make sure
that pdflatex's output is actually PDF/A-compliant?

pdfinfo probably only reads metadata, but does not do any PDF/A compliance validation.

VeraPDF seems to work for validation (https://verapdf.org/software/).
