That's what I did in my house for all under cabinet, shelf, and toe kick lighting. They make the actual Hue strips look really cheap, dim, and too far between LEDs by comparison.
Reach out to them for bulk pricing if you are buying a bunch and you'll get better pricing. https://sowilodesign.co
Bonus, Mike is super helpful and will help design what you need. They even solder.
The Philips Hue strip light controller only puts out 20 watts, so when you extend it you lose lumens per LED. Not so with Sowilo's setup. They essentially took all of the good parts of Hue integration and made it work for more applications than an average Joe putting up one strip light.

You need a base. It's the thing that goes between the power brick and the strip. It's what has the Bluetooth/hue bridge radio and light color controller

So while I like the hue for the color brightness and saturation it's also the most popular for smart home integrations and app compatibility.

They actually use the hue controller itself, their approach amplifies the signal/power to extend over longer distances. I believe I've read the strips even show in the hue app due to the reuse of the controller
I wonder if I should consider tow lighting in the kitchen cabinets or island...

Sowilo uses an authentic Hue controller, so it's exactly the same integration. They just designed a higher quality strip with higher guage wire, higher CRI, more LED density per meter, and then attach an authentic Hue controller along with a 5 channel high frequency amplifier that allows you to go longer without losing brightness.

Keep in mind you are working with 20 watts of power. The longer you go, the more dim your strip will be. If there's another non extended strip in the room, that strip will look brighter at the same brightness level and will not match.

That's not how math works

You can't return what you bought? With the amount of lighting you are doing I would really try to sell what you have on Offer Up/FB Marketplace for whatever you can get and go with the Sowilo. What you are doing will require some serious hacking and running a bunch of high voltage everywhere for plugging in the controllers.
I was in your exact same position and just sold off my extra light strips. I actually came out even on them because I got such a good deal on them originally.
