I haven't seen any wifi 7 gear. I have a Unifi tri band wifi 6 AP in the next room at home which is a bit excessive. However, I live on the side of a hill and I get coverage across the entire valley.
Unifi tends to be a bit divisive in forums such as HN and r/networking and even their own forums! The wailing and gnashing of teeth at every version update is quite something to behold.
For me as an old school sysadmin, running a Linux VM as a Unifi gateway is fine and has been for years. I treat it with respect and read change logs and I have decent backups and so on.
The vast majority of my customers and my already installed gear is wifi5 and any new APs are 6 by default. I'll wait for 7 devices to actually be available but it doesn't bring much to the table. Wifi 6 with the addition of 6GHz was a major upgrade, 7 not so much.
My phone now has way more bandwidth to my home LAN via wifi than the LAN itself! It can use 2.4/5/6 GHz and each band has more than one MIMO. Its not quite that simple but I will be grabbing some 2.5 or 10Gb LAN switches soon. At work 10Gb with 40Gb uplinks is generally indicated ...
