if you want to use different SSID for different VLAN
With newer versions of the controller you can actually use PPSK for a different VLAN per password (same SSID), but at the moment you’d be stuck using WPA2.

Unifi ticks most of the boxes you have. Wifi will work without controller and they act as an bridge, so DHCP and other services work as-is, VLAN support is there (if you want to use different SSID for different VLAN then you need a controller) and so on. I have couple of their APs and I’ve been pretty happy, but that being said, their push for their own cloud-only products and the way they manage updates, longevity and other stuff isn’t the best (to say the least). For now it works absolutely great for what I need it, but at the future situation may change with a short notice.
No idea about T-link, but mikrotik devices are interesting. For wifi I don’t have any kind of experience, so I can’t recommend them, but on paper they seem pretty nice.

Don’t bother with Mikrotik, way too overpriced for what they deliver nowadays.
