Yea, that's mostly where I am on this too.

Primary lighting is dumb and controlled by switches.

Secondary lighting/mood lighting is smart and has the ability to be color changed and timing controlled.

That said, 'smart' systems love to lose connection or their settings and do the wrong thing too frequently.

I’ve found HomeKit to be pretty resilient. During internet outages it still functions locally, which was an important design choice for me.

There was one time where it went on the fritz and ultimately fixed itself when I restarted my phone (wish there was more troubleshooting or audit logging, but that’s endemic to all Apple products not just HomeKit)

My primary lighting in the main areas of the house is zwave. The switches work like regular switches and require local access only. It's smart if I want it to be.
