It depends, and it's certainly not a consumer solution. I use Ansible manage my devices so it takes a bit more up front time to setup but it pays off in the long run. It's very low maintenance overall but you do need some technical knowledge. I recently switched from OpenBSD to Linux and it was mostly painless. nftables is almost as usable as pf. If you get a decent WiFi card you can just use hostapd and manage your wireless networks on the gateway; slicing it up however you want without needing vlan capable switches on your network.
