thanks @brokenbetty I will look into Hue, I’m assuming that control is via phone app.
The current lighting is good to work on the parquet flooring, shame it’s not improving my joinery skillz nor my dodgy eyesight, nor spelling/grammar.
Door threshold, meh

Yes, but you can get physical switches as well which is what we mainly use. I'm too old to unlearn reaching for a light switch. (Actually I want voice control but my husband won't have such things in the house). Use the app for initial setup, set colours etc and then the switches for day to day stuff.
We use these:
You've got on, off, dim and brighten, and pressing the on button multiple times gives you up to 6 (I think) presets that you set up from the app. In our living/dining room we have the two main lights and all the side lighting on Hue, and the switch is set up for all on with a warm light, sidelights only on with a warm light, living area light only, dining area light only, and all lights super bright blue daylight for when I drop a needle or something.

Looks like you're doing great man! Seems like that would be a complete ballache to me.

You've probably already considered and dismissed this, but if you want dimmable bulbs and split switches is it worth looking at Hue? They do filament-style bulbs now.
That's what we did when we wanted separate controls for lights that were on the same switch.
