Enterprise 802.11ax AP deployment for indoor residential environment

We are considering putting in Ubiquiti APs or Aruba AP-515 in our residence. I realize that the Unifi (prosumer) products do not qualify as enterprise and do not yet support 802.11ax, a major draw for us but we are nearly as focused on seamless roaming between APs since we leverage Wi-Fi calling in the home. We do not have good quality cellular service indoors because of 1930s construction techniques used, there are many plaster and lathe walls. Therefore we are looking for a product with excellent fast roaming or 802.11k/r/v support in 2800sq ft and on three floors with three APs.

My question is the following:

What is the best POE 802.ax AP we could put our hands on for under 400 per AP?

What type of switch / gateway / router would you use with it for 1gb symmetrical fiber connection?

Thank you for your feedback!

We stream a lot of video and want to future proof things as much as possible. Will run two Cat 6a POE drops to each AP.
