I really don’t want to chime in here, because we haven’t really touched on budget and needs.
But the oven I bought for my kitchen renovation was expensive but what I really wanted. I think you should consider your budget first. Think about how you use your oven. Are you baking a lot? Are you using your oven to its maximum potential?
I don’t get sucked in by wifi nonsense or anything that claims that you just press a button and it does the rest.
Cooking with nice, good equipment is always going to harbour better results.
Work out the budget, then look at the absolute best you can find in your price range.

I dont have a sweet tooth for ice cream or choc. Last time I bought a block about 10 years ago.

TLDR- Although wifi etc is unnecessary I have had a good experience of it.
I agree with Shining Wizard completely but I will add I inadvertently bought an outdoor oven with wifi and a built in thermometer.
I didn’t think much of it at first because it wasn’t a feature I’d ever used, needed or wanted.
Then I tried it out and I am a convert.
Don’t get me wrong it would be the last thing I’d look at or even consider when buying an oven, the rest of the ovens functions would come first, wifi and a built in thermometer is just a bonus.
But it is marvellous to be able to use an app to glance at the internal temperature for example of a joint of meat, you can get on with other things but know when you need to get back in the kitchen to start the other dishes.
No hovering or opening the door to check the temp.
If it’s temp is rising too quickly or slowly you can adjust the temp from the app.
I also often set it to turn the oven off when the desired temperature is reached.
This means I can for example I can put something like chicken in the oven and go out knowing there will sandwich meat ready for everyone at lunch time.
I am wary and mistrustful of this new tech but it’s not failed once and has yielded good results so

This is my oven
It does everything but wash the kitchen floor and make the beds.
