My approach is:

Switches replaced with Smart Switches where possible. Especially for overhead lights.

Lamps that are not controlled by a switch get a smart bulb. Hue white ambiance mostly. They just work, plus Hue has remotes that can be used to turn them on/off either from a table or you can usually surface mount them.

This.

I’ve moved from ST to HE but both would work well to accomplish what you want.
