any ... device that uses Wifi is to be avoided

Same here with TPLink. I avoid Tapo for its more anti-consumer features like cloud dependence and WiFi, and stick to Kasa, but I do have a KP303 which was pretty much the only smart strip in production, and unlike the other Kasa plugs the strip can't be configured without logging in.
