I wanted to try and reuse a database via the network, but I can't create a new database for a new app

I mean inside of an existing mysql -- like in Laravel Cloud they call it "mysql cluster" wherein you can make extra databases and connect multiple apps.

Small applications don't really require dedicated database resources, as they're not constantly used.

It would be nice to share the resources, but still have a dedicated database, not just the "app_db"

We've added the root password in the `Environment variables` tab for application databases. With this user you can manage your database in exactly the way you want, including creating new databases and giving `dbuser` the permission for those new databases. This allong with `Networks` you should be able to achieve what you want!
