An ESP32 (or 8266 honestly in most scenarios) and ESPHome/WLED/anything that supports MQTT will do the job reliably and without concerns of data collection/spying. Isolate their network and open a one way firewall port for the proxy/dashboard you want to use. For most devices, soldering is minimal and simple. You spend a little more time on initial setup, but all those concerns slip away.
