I'm with you on this. I have the Pi Zero W and Pi Zero 2 W. These are IMO the ideal devices in their lineup. Maybe I'm just nostalgic for when computers had limitations but I love them. I have the old one running PiHole, (so DNS stays up if I reboot my server) and the other doing monitoring. I've had zero problems doing everything over wifi, and actually being wifi is a benefit for my internet monitoring since wifi going down on my mandatory AT&T router wouldn't be captured by an ethernet connected device.

I also like the Pi 3A+ as an in-between. Especially before the release of the Zero2 as the Zero1's CPU was a bit too weak.
Pi Zero 2 W are still hard to find. Even though the Rpi 4 supplies have gotten better in the past few months.

It's been in stock for months every time I cared to look.

Looks like only 1 U.S seller has it in stock. The others have the Zero W. Not the 2. But thanks, I hadn't looked at the rpilocator in a while and was waiting for my local Microcenter to get them.
