Nah, just get one that can integrate with Home Assistant.
Nah, protect your privacy and build your own. You just need an esp board, a 4x relay board, and a thermometer sensor.
If my choices are a z-wave/zigbee thermostat that connects to my HomeAssistant instance and a Raspberry Pi that I have to maintain, I'll pick the z-wave one (and I did, 10 years ago. It's been rock solid.)
For my smart devices I prefer devices that can't send information over the internet no matter what. I don't want to worry about my thermostat mining bitcoin for some dude in China.
