That depends on your area. These machines are not available new (at least not at a reasonable price) but they are readily available refurbished for around 35€ (4gb ram) to 50€ (8gb ram) per piece in Germany.

I have a Unifi router (Unifi cloud Gateway Fiber to be precise), which one you could argue is on the higher end of consumer hardware. But there are also more consumer oriented routers with that capability.
I am certainly not an expert by any stretch. But here are my reasons: Ability to isolate some “sketchy” IOT devices into an IOT only vlan, where they are not allowed to access the rest of the network, only the internet and incoming traffic from the other vlans. Having a “clean” vlan/subnet for servers and services where I can give out static IPs without worrying about collisions with client devices
Exactly. You could say it was unnecessary, but I think we have crossed that line a long time ago.
No. But segregation into vlans has advantages. As this comes with new adresses anyway, might as well tidy up the adress space entirely.
In the end 10.20.20.10 feels much neater than 192.168.174.10.
But yes, you are right, technically the 192.168.xx.yy adress space works the same and has plenty of space for home use.
I attempted to move my whole 192.168.x network without vlan to a new 10.x network with vlans. I am still tracking down services and devices where I hardcoded in the old 192.168. ip adresses.

There are machines (like the Futro s740) that can be powered by POE as well.
Check out the Futro S740. It is more powerful than the pi, uses comparable power and still quite compact.
They can be found (in Germany at least) for 40€ with 4gb RAM and about 50€ for 8gb of ram. Ram is upgradeble, so is storage.
If you want something (much) more powerful, there is the Lenovo tiny line, for example the m710q or m720q (one cpu generation newer).
Your router has a redundant power supply?

Can we get a TL:DW for people that don’t want to watch a video?
There are ready made modules for it that slot into an unused PCIe slot into your case. They are available on aliexpress, search for „tuya WiFi pc power switch)
„Curated list“ and „massive list“ rarely go together… this one is not curated.
As far as I understood, this is just a USB interface, you’d still need zigbee2mqtt or ZHA
But NearDrop is not compatible with airdrop, is it?
It’s only a matter of time now
/edit: there seems to be This one however it is the „old“ standard reverse engineered. Should still work
Sure, but the same is true for embedded timestamps. Just put a black bar over it with the time and date in white. Claim that the system does it that way, done.
Nice.
