I have a 3 ZigBee sonoff switches: https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/devices/ZBMINIL2.html#sonoff-zbminil2
They are nice and don't require a neutral wire, you can't use these on 3 way switches but they are very nice and small. You then keep the aesthetic of whatever switch you use, paddle or flip switch.
The one thing I've noticed is that if you flip the switch on and off really quick about 3 times it disconnects from the mqtt server and needs to be repaired.
You could also go with a zwave or ZigBee inovelli switch which are nice but very expensive. They are very reliable and I have no complaints with the one zwave switch I have from them.
