Yes as you said below, you really don't want a "mesh" network. That means something totally different.
You just want PoE access points that can do hand-of, which UniFI can do for sure. I use UniFI at my house and it's 100% worth it. Either of these will work:
https://www.amazon.com/Ubiquiti-Compact-802-11ac-Enterprise-UAP-NanoHD-US/dp/B07DWW3P6K/
https://www.amazon.com/Ubiquiti-Networks-UAP-AC-PRO-Access-Included/dp/B079DSW6XX/
but the first one (the NanoHD) is newer and supports 802.11ac wave2.
With unifi you really should go all-in with unifi equipment. That's when the system works best. I'd recommend this PoE switch:

You get 8 ports of PoE ethernet and two SFP ports. You can turn the SFP ports into two more RJ45 gigabit ethernet ports (without PoE) with these:

Alternatively, if you need many more ports or want something rack-moutable, I'd use this switch:
https://www.amazon.com/Ubiquiti-Networks-US-16-150W-UniFi-Switch/dp/B01E46ATQ0/
You'll also need a computer that's always on somewhere in your house to run the UniFI controller software. The controller is how you configure and track everything. It's really light-weight, so it can just run in the background on a desktop or some old Mac or PC.
Alternatively you can just plug a "UniFI Cloud Key" controller into one of your PoE ports:

One caveat, if you use the cloud key make sure you back up your unifi database (on the controller) often. I've had them fail on me more than I like.
Finally, if you don't like any of those you can use a hosted instance of the cloud controller but it's $199 a year:
