I went with the Qidi Q1 Pro and I've been very happy with it. Orca Slicer's built in profiles for it have worked great so I didn't have to tinker. It runs Fluidd so once it was connected to the local network I could monitor and control it that way (and it will display directly in Orca Slicer).

There is a setting in the printer's interface to restrict it to local network only (and just to be absolutely certain I blocked it in my firewall as well). There are no penalties for not connecting it to the internet.
