Powerline depends a lot on the state of your power wiring.
I have Devolo Magic2 G.hn powerline adapters. In my rental UK apartment (1990 or so vintage), I can barely get 100 Mbps for the 10 meters or so from my office to the living room. The same units with mesh-wifi sync at around 300 Mbps in my parents' much larger 1980 vintage house in France. Perhaps the difference is due to the UK's crackpot ring electrical standard.
I wish someone would make laser free-space optics for in-home use (they are available for company campus networks).
WiFi 6E adds a full GHz of bandwidth in the 6GHz band and should dramatically improve congestion, but you will still need multiple access points with some form of wired backhaul to get reliable WiFi.
