I've needed this over the years but all the ones I've seen appeared much too complex for my simple use case. I ended up writing my own using pyxmlrpc. Unfortunately haven't used it for years and don't know if I could find it again (was uploaded to pypi at one time).
Are any of these batch systems simple to install, use, and maintain?

Yeah, these schedulers do get kind of complex. You might be happy with the simple "batch" command.
On the other hand, if this is your field, it's probably worth your time to learn a bit about the more complicated systems, because you'll find them on compute clusters and HPC environments.
Another oldie-but-goodie is Condor. While most schedulers are meant for the server room (and Condor works well there too), this one has some neat features where you can set it up on people's desktop (or even laptop!) systems and it'll run things when they're not busy. So if you have more than one machine in your house, you might be able to get more simulations run more quickly that way.
