I'd just accept that 2.4GHz is forever tainted :)

In real terms though, it not that bad. I've got about 25 such devices always online and the traffic really is negligible. Most devices aren't sending anything while nothing is happening except for the periodic heartbeat like once a minute. Its not noticeable, even on my 20MHz wide network.

I have like 54 devices running on 3 unifi APs...it's unnoticeable (either that or my phone/laptop etc. are just using 5ghz and happy about it - either way).

there are LOTS of complaints about > 50 IoT wrecking their U7 series

i'm personally avoiding wifi devices now and holding out for matter/thread variants
