Similar setup:

I have a cable modem for the incoming signal, a gigabyte NAT router with two wired ports, one direct to the TV for streaming, the other to the gigabyte switch for wired outlets and the wireless access point. All rooms have an ethernet plugs next to the coax outlet, for different TV or desk locations, but the added piece is each TV location has two gang outlets (4 plug outlets) added to handle any added devices. Lanai has one ethernet outlet and a 4 gang outlet, no tv yet.

Single wireless access point on the ceiling in the middle of the house. . wifi has password, hard wired does not. . cameras wireless and occasional dropped signals. . meh. . mostly storm related

requires two standard size wiring closets to get everything in. Home surge protector AND surge protector strip in the wiring closet included BUT missing is UPS on the cable model/router/switch. . haven't figured out how to get that into the closet without being ugly. ..

everyone has different needs, the house is a rental and renters have asked for high speed for work related access. .

all houses are customized to the owners' desires, and all owners are different, i am pretty sure those that are judgmental of other people's spending desires on speed or network design or anything else in others' houses are too judgmental by nature, and should just be mentally noted and ignored (no posted response)
