My guy. Thanks.

I’m definitely overthinking it - you’re right there. But your answers alone served as the sanity check I was looking for.

I know you said you’ve never used any unifi equipment, but as far as I can tell, you can either configure everything through a rack mounted controller (for those doing all the things I said I wouldn’t) OR simply download an app to your phone or PC and do it there. If that’s the case, and I can get some anecdotes from people who have done that successfully, I’d feel more confident about Unifi in general.

Again, appreciate the response!
