You actually have it backwards: reports are free to develop (as Power BI desktop is free and requires no account to use); the Pro license is to take advantage of the collaborative features of the Power BI Online service with other Pro users.
Once a report is uploaded, SharePoint actually has the capability to embed Power BI directly, which only takes a couple minutes, and only the publisher requires a Pro license.
Workspaces are just a matter of sharing access with relevant Pro users, and setting up a gateway for automated refreshes.
Also the viewers need a pro license or the content needs to be in a workspace that's in a Premium Capacity.
