Our issue is that our clients are government based and our software sits on there servers. Power bi requires them going out to the cloud which from government security view is undesirable.

For use cases where the cloud is not an option, the on prem solution is Power BI publish to SSRS.  It was developed for this exact scenario, as Power BI service sits in public Azure (no express route connection).  As for having many users, you can add security groups or AD groups, so you don't have to manually add each user individually.  This also applies for RLS set up in Power BI desktop.
