If that's for IoT, just use LoRa on license-free bands, and that's it, you're done with km of range if that's some rural areas.

Lora is not an alternative because of literally no data volume.

You don't need data volume for IoT.

That works fine if the use-case allows for high-latency and doesn't need TCP. To your point, I would imagine most all home use-cases are fine in this regard.
