Moti Gitik proved (assuming large cardinals) that all uncountable alephs can have cofinality ω. [*All uncountable cardinals can be singular*, Israel J. Math. 35 (1980), 61–88] I believe this may be the model you're looking for, but I don't know what happens to non-wellorderable sets in that model. According to the abstract copied below, this model is very close to what you have in mind.

> Assuming the consistency of the existence of arbitrarily large strongly compact cardinals, we prove the consistency with ZF of the statement that every infinite set is a countable union of sets of smaller cardinality. Some other statements related to this one are investigated too.

Every wellorderable set $S$ in this model belongs to the closure of $\{\{s\}:s \in S\}$ under iterated countable unions. The proof is by induction on the cardinality of the infinite set $S$. As in the abstract, we may write $S = \bigcup_{i<\omega} S_i$ where $|S_i| < |S|$ for each $i$. By the induction hypothesis, each $S_i$ belongs to the closure of $\{\{s\}:s \in S\}$ under iterated countable unions, and thus $S$ belongs to this closure too.
