I have a HomeKit setup consisting of 24 eve Energy units controlling Stand-Alone gear such as lamps, fans, Bug Zappers and Air Diffusers. Except for Ceiling lights, all lighting is standard LED Bulbs run by the Eve Energy Units.
Environmental gear consists of 2 Airversa PM2.5 Air filters, one Honeywell standalone air filter controlled by an eve energy device and a SmartMi RainForest Humidifier.
For Security, there are 10 Cameras, 4 Eufy Cams and 6 Logitech Cams. One Onvis Contact Sensor CT3, and 1 Eve Room air quality sensor.
HomeKit Lighting Used only for Ceiling Lights consists of 4 Nanoleaf A19095 lights controlled by 2 Eve Motion Devices.
There are 5 Homepod Mini devices and 1 Homepod 2Gen along with an AppleTV 4K.
All the above HomeKit gear with the exception of the Cameras (which can only operate on the 2.4ghz WiFi) are all communicating via Thread and not via WiFi or Bluetooth.
Until I restricted the Homekit network to Thread, and replaced everything with thread enabled gear. nothing worked well or reliably.
The main router here is nothing special, a Synology rt2600 connected to 1 Gigabit symmetrical Fiber.
Remote Access to the system has been very reliable.
