What is the best way to go about setting up an account for Read Only access for the entire SQL instance?

This would allow the user to read data from all the databases including new ones.

I am not sure about a READ-ONLY instance. But you can make read-only databases in an instance:

ALTER DATABASE database-name SET READ_ONLY
