Less Fog - lets you control the fog colour for the DM separately from the players. Useful for the DM so they can see what's going on while having tokens selected.

Less Fog
FOUNDRY 9's NEW LIGHTING, STILL LIMITING GRADUAL ILLUMINATION
2 projects | /r/FoundryVTT | 6 Dec 2021

Sounds like you're talking to the right people; good luck getting things set up. For the default lighting changes I was referring to the less fog mod. Not sure it works in v9 (or really in v8 either) but it's something to look at.
How to turn off the GM Token Vision?

Less Fog can make the Fog of War effects transparent for GMs. I don't know why I didn't think of this earlier. You can make it so that even though you only have the token's vision, the areas of that map that are black to the player are just dim or greyed out to you, so you can still see what you're doing.
Casting light shadows?
1 project | /r/FoundryVTT | 7 Mar 2021

You could use a mixture of using Less Fog and pre-exploring the area. Drag a token that all players have observer or better access to around the area to fully remove the fog of war, then use Less Fog to change the opacity of the Explored areas to taste.
