Anyone know if that booklet mode in the print dialog is from Affinity? 

Yes, it is. It's also available on Windows from Affinity Publisher.

I might misunderstand but the OP seems to ask whether the booklet option is literally "from" Affinity. (like "by" Affinity?) – I doubt it caused by Affinity but possibly a matter of the printer driver and/or the operating system: While I can save a certain setting in the Affinity print dialog as "Preset" this might not work in non-Affinity apps even though it may appear in their print dialog.

Yet when I print from Pages, booklet mode is there and it impositions.

It appears to be a feature of the Apple Pages app. See the response with screenshot in this Apple forum:

The booklet option is also available in other Apple apps, for instance TextEdit and Preview.

Many thanks. It's odd that so many posts can be found saying imposition is impossible from Pages when it seems to be possible from anything in general.

On a related topic, the recent pledges from Canva/Affinity are reassuring. I'm still on the window ledge, railing at fate and ready to jump, but I'm starting to suspect it's just a first floor window.

My remaining worries are for Affinity staff.
