I've had very good success with Zigbee stuff, TP-Link Kasa outlets (but I've put them on a different router / subnet that doesn't have Internet access), and ESPHome.
Tuya stuff sucks (keeps disconnecting), JuiceBox (my car charger) changed their app so the integration doesn't work anymore, and the Aqara zigbee door sensors never worked for me (they pair perfectly, but then disconnect and never come back on).
So yeah, in my experience, once it works, it works, as long as there's no cloud involved.
