Gray2333 is best suggestion. Start with breakfast in bed.
She's told you she doesn't want a big fuss, so listen to her.
I did a trail of 40 wrapped presents, starting at the bedroom door. Quite a few of them were (framed) photos of her me and the kids over the years, others were mostly chocolate bars and little things I knew she liked. The last two or three were more expensive. The final one was afternoon tea at a swanky place she'd mentioned. She was pleased with that.

Is that a euphemism?

Recently celebrated my wife’s 40th and we went to Sketch in London. If you want a 3 michelin star experience it was incredible.

Book a function room somewhere and throw a big 40th party with balloons and banners with 40 on. Win!

This but make them 30s not 40s, imagine she'll be very pleased with that
Take her on a holiday. A proper holiday, not Butlins or some rubbish. Loads of good deals to Europe at the mo, you can do Rome for £9 one-way atm.
Or Turkey all inclusive, it's not exactly a cultural holiday but if you want to just chill and be pampered for a few days and not worry about money, you can't go wrong.

Sounds like she's already married to the midlife crisis experience.
It should be all about her - nowhere where she needs to wash up, cook, look after others etc. And all depends on budget.
A health spa visit with massage prepaid - as above, always a winner.
Theatre trip and hotel in London.
I did Venice for wife's milestone birthday - i might still have the plan i put together if you're going down this route

My 40th is in a years time and I'm equally really not bothered about doing anything big for it! We might be on holiday with parents etc around then though as it's my dad's 75th next year so we might do a bigger combined trip away somewhere which wouldn't be as bad and just have a nice meal somewhere.
Can't help on your wife's birthday ideas but there are plenty already suggested so you've got what to work with!

Spa/massage is a safe bet.
Depends if she likes birthdays, not a fan myself - they're just another day.

It's a trap. So you're expected todo something. However make it simply a relaxing time with her. Spa break and weekend, with a massage for her sounds like the ticket.
My Mrs has her 50th soon, and she wants no party/fuss.. but that doesn't not mean a trip etc.

Definitely a trip away, without kids. We did Rome for my wifes and did Santorini for mine, was fantastic.
