Thanks to your suggestion I wound up learning how to create a custom endpoint, so thanks for that!

I wound up creating a custom endpoint that executes and returns the result of a get_field(); call against my options field, which worked a charm.

Here’s what I wound up with, in case it’s helpful for anyone else trying to do something similar:

Set up the endpoint and callback:

function cp_colspec_endpoint() {
  $field = get_field('col_spec','options');
  return $field;
}

//expose acf options page field(s) through custom endpoint
function cp_register_api_endpoints() {
  register_rest_route( 'canopy/v2', '/acf--colspec', array(
    'methods' => 'GET',
    'callback' => 'cp_colspec_endpoint',
  ) );
}

add_action( 'rest_api_init', 'cp_register_api_endpoints' );
