Stuff like that goes on a different VLAN that can only talk to the outside world (or not, depending on the case) and not the rest of the intranet.
Here's where I get a little more naive....do you....have one VLAN that's your "normie" network that your WIFI access points expose to all the devices, then the other VLAN is...only within the wired network, so if your phone wants to get to your bitwarden, it's always going out the wifi out the gateway first and back in, kind of thing?

right now all my "services", which are not bitwarden-level sensitive, are all on the same network as whatever crap I bought at home depot. I have an edgemax router and there is a third NIC I've never used, so I guess I'd finally plug a switch in there! ok. next project I guess
