This isn’t the best recommendation*, but I’ve personally had no issues with tons of devices and a large two building layout with 4 Google Wifi pucks.
- I gather that some of the other mesh solutions like Eero work better but I’ve never used them.

The Roborock vacuums can work without wifi but you lose the advanced functionality. Apparently you can flash them with an alternative firmware and get back the advanced functions with local only control.
I like having local control too. My rule for smart lighting is it should still operate like dumb lighting.
If money was no object, maybe conduit going from every room to a central place so you can easily run whatever you want in the future.
