I would love to do smart lighting, but I worked out how expensive it would be to me, and it was painful! I have very few rooms which just have a pendent in, most are either pendants plus spots, or just spots or LED bulkheads. For example downstairs we have;
Office: 4 x LED bulkheads (no idea what these could be swapped for)
Utility: 2 x LED bulkheads(would never bother changing these)
Dining room: 2 x Pendants (easiest room to do, but don't use it much)
Lounge: 4 x Pendants, 4 x spots (would like to change these to get more variation)
Kitchen: 10 x spots (expensive!) -
On all of this stuff... I stick by my claim that if I only did one thing it would be Philips Hue lighting everywhere.
This. In spades. Hue has been a big positive change for us. Its spendy but worth it.
Edit: Cost roughly £600 to do our flat. Not many crappy GU10 spots to replace thankfully.

What about Crestron or Lutron?

The smart speakers, doorbell, heating, vacuum... all of that is second to how good smart lighting is.
I think in terms of quality of life, having lighting change to fit the time of day and activity (cleaning, reading, watching a movie, cooking, eating, etc) is the best thing. Improving alertness in the morning, sleep quality and duration, etc.
