Our Sony with built in Android TV is quite nice. It’s a bit of a privacy hit but not too bad. Everything just works, including Android apps like Kodi. It’s hard wired with Ethernet... kinda requires when streaming ultra hi def over the LAN.

I don't know about the newest models but up until the XH series wifi was actually faster than ethernet. The SoC only supported 100MBit/s ethernet which isn't enough for high quality UHD content.
You know, I never checked. It’s a newer model. It has never struggled with 80 GiB movie files.
You can setup use NextDNS on Android TV to block ads and tracking.
