Rewiring the entire house in my situation wouldn't really yield any benefit, other than running 3-wire to the single gang switch leg boxes, where the only benefit there would be gaining a neutral wire in those boxes so I could use on/off smart switches that require a neutral wire. Not a good use of my time/money IMO, as these Aqara no-neutral on/offs, combined with Aqara's door/window sensors, give me the automated closet light switching I need for a fraction of the cost/time of a rewire.
Smart switches that do not require a neutral are harder to engineer such that the current flowing through the circuit has to be minimal. Lutron invented no neutral electronic dimmer switches and they still have the most robust led bulb compatibility.

we were already in the process of changing out all the outlets because they were two prong no ground 1955 cloth like wrapped wiring. we then noticed some of the light wirings and outlet wires would snap off trying to make a simple ear bend at the tip so we felt it would be a better move to just replace it all. was already upgrading to led can lighting in every room as well so it just made sense to us to do it all at that point.

Lol. Lutron doesn't use zigbee, they have a very robust proprietary communication system which is very well proven. This junk is designed for low end installs, Lutron hardware is made to stand up to the most demanding installations.
As a bonus Lutron switches are certified for safety and don't have a propensity to start fires unlike this junk product.
yeah...wasnt too difficult but a lot of drywall ripped out as well...so trying to sort out redrywalling basically whole house as well
No issues … no buzzing ..HomeKit found right away
I say win for those with no neutral in older
Installed 3
1 uses automation with aqara lock,
If unlocked from outside
Then turn on lights
So far I am digging the Aqara ecosystem, but this is my first foray into it, I am sure hubitat hub is king but for now the no neutral is why I chose Aqara
