Buy Lutron Diva dimmers and dimmable LED lamps (you probably call them ‘bulbs’), problem solved.

For the Lutron Diva, you probably want this one: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Lutron-Diva-LED-Dimmer-Switch-fo...

Philips sells dimmable LED lamps that work well.

I sell electrical work for a living and this is what I use on my own home.

If you want higher grade, commercial LED fixtures have built in drivers with heat sinks and are generally rated for 50,000 hours. Commercial dimming typically uses separate dimming conductors that carry a 0-10VDC signal.

I use Shelly dimmers as they offer you the ability to use their cloud app thing or completely roll your own including flashing new firmware into the ESP controlling the thing.
I also have Shelly but haven’t been able to flash them. Do you have a link?
