I think that’s totally fine. Might actually be the future direction. But yea would’ve been nice to have wifi/bt integrated.

Eg if you want 5ghz then use c5, or if you want some wifi-6 so c6, etc.

Also here’s a talk by them on how to use esp as a wifi coprocessor https://youtu.be/g14aEjnjRLw?si=TgkEyJJ2_L_Shuom

There’s also adafruit airlift https://www.adafruit.com/product/4201

Using a second board just for WiFi is definitely not totally fine for most applications. Having everything integrated into a single package important for everything from reducing BOM count to lower power consumption to development simplicity.
