Archer BE550

If you are happy with your single all-in-one, there's no need to go with a mesh system. There's nothing "better" about it, it's usefulness is extending wifi coverage when you can't or won't wire an access point. Here are some suggestions within your budget.

Depends on what you are looking for, that is mainly a router worth it if you want good VPN performance, built in adguard and like to tinker (OSS). If you. just want performance for the same budget, TP-Link Archer BE550 or ASUS RT-AX82U V2. Imho.

This won't work with Deco Mesh. It will work with easymesh. You could buy some TP link BE550, which are great for the price (usually on sale for $170), as they are easymesh compatible.

I went with the tp link be550. Cant praise it enough for the price really and speeds.

Axe75 looks really good. Some used be550’s are on sale pretty damn close to target price point, may be the move!

I’m leaving my plex server/nas at my parents house where I currently live for now, to save on energy cost mainly (they use it a ton so that’s approved), but eventually it’ll come with me and that will be super useful. Electricity prices are going crazy right no

There is a 100$ off coupon for a higher end ASUS unit at B&H rn that meets all your criteria! For about half the price usually you can ge a TP-Link Archer BE550, which is quite good.
