Here's a handy guide for anyone deciding how get content on their TV:
Gaming Console > Nvidia Shield > Streaming device (roku) > Cable/Satellite TV > TV Antenna > Smart TV Software
I like your guide, but I'd add a step or two:
Gaming Console > Nvidia Shield > Streaming device (roku) > Cable/Satellite TV > TV Antenna > forget it, go outside and take a walk instead > punch yourself in the face instead > Smart TV Software
Roku devises are the same steaming pile of advertisements. Just because it's a different flavor doesn't mean it's not there. They even advertise in their afk screen. Really that list needs to remove cable because it's also paying to get advertisements and it should include a pc at the front.

Sounds like the GoogleTV UI. Roku is better with not pushing your apps around.
The basic UI of Google TV sucks but sideloading Android apps is magical

I love my Shield. Except that the remote is a ridiculous shape, it is a fantastic way to stream to a TV.
I love my pihole...
I never experience any of this..
I have a smart TV.
It's hooked up to my computer, remote operated with the Unified Remote app.
The webOS on my LG isn’t bad per se, but it’s worse than using the Apple TV hooked up to it. I’ve personally found that a box of some sort plugged into the TV well slays offer a better experience.
I just occasionally plug my TV into Ethernet overnight to slow it to pull updates. No WiFi.
Yeah, I had a webOS TV for four or so years and it was fine, the apps could all be moved around so the most commonly used were at the start of the menu, it didn't slow down after updates, there wasn't that much advertising on the UI. Have a Samsung one now and it's much the same.

I have my TV offline, connected to my Xbox, with HDMI-CEC enabled.
When I turn on the Xbox, it automatically turns the TV on, which goes to my last used input (the Xbox). From there I can launch whatever streaming apps I want.
I know I have to deal with Microsoft's nonsense too, but at least the performance is good and it shows the most recent app at the top of my home page.

Buy a sceptre 4K screen .. no smart features at all. Hook up whatever device you want, computer, Roku, Apple TV, pi running Kodi ..
Mmmm, I love that my tv's remote constantly listens to my conversations and sends recordings back to the maker all under the guise of "improving voice control".
