The idea of keeping an increasingly insecure radio open for legacy hardware makes me itch. I'd sooner cat5 or usb these devices into the network than risk the rest of it.

If it doesn't make you worry, there's nothing to do here. WPA3 gives you nothing.

One of my pet peeves: non-portable devices that have WiFi but no Ethernet port. For example the Logitech Harmony Hub, Amazon Echo and Apple HomePod.

Definitely.

I guess if WPA2 get blown apart (to the degree WEP was) there might be a market for super-low-power APs that you put on or right next to the device. Not sure that'd be enough without additional shielding.

Most WPA2 devices do support 802.1x which —depending on the crack— may help extend the lifetime.
