All? Really?

> and now I just have a separate SSID for clients I have the energy to manually retype the password into

Type it once and it will be saved, as has been the case for years.

Yep! Every single client required the password be typed in again, which is problematic in a house full of wifi devices (~50), some of which don't have keyboards, or have janky setup processes. Surely you're aware of wifi devices that need you to connect to their own SSID to set them up, or require an app and a setup process.

That’s interesting. My testing for EAP-TLS and OWE networks has shown modern clients will simply create another profile when it detects the change in the AKM suite. Hard roam between wpa2/wpa3, but still seem less for the client.
