I've had pretty good luck with the ESP line and WiFi, even have 2 of the 32s that have the port for external antenna working in sheds about 150' from the nearest AP.
I've always turned off power saving and given them hard coded IP settings (no DHCP). The only time I saw anything wonky is a short-lived experiment with the 32's deep sleep not reliably connecting on wakeup.
Mostly ESPHome now, two of the basic Uniquiti pucks from a few years back, for reference.
