If you have Apple users in your household, the current generation of Apple TV 4K 128GB is a solid device that’s going to offer the best integrated experience, along with capability of Thread. If not, it’s probably a bit overpriced compared to the other solutions.

It doesn’t offer AVC1 decoding; so if that matters to you, skip it. If it doesn’t (and it absolutely doesn’t for the vast majority of users) then it’s not only best-in-class, it’s alone in its class. The nVidia Shield Pro is the only other device with as much power in it and that’s been eclipsed by the newest AppleTV iteration. They’re really just that good.

What's the state of apps like kodi or other methods of local streaming on Apple TV?

I use infuse for local streaming to the ApleTV from my Jellyfin server. It works well but you have to subscribe to get the good features

That's annoying. Part of the reason for local media is reducing the amount of monthly bills
