Some whole house audio and presence detection use cases
Also, I am using the bluetooth on the Pi to drive Room Assistant, to tell which room I'm in and automatically switch on the audio in that room when I am in that room, and switch it off when I leave. It also has support for the grid-eye sensor which looks like the flir sensor you useThere's also a similar project for ESP32 called ESPresence.

Are bluetooth beacons still the best way to do location tracking in a building?
Check out Room Assistant. I have 9 RaspberryPi Zeros set up around my house and these do a great job tracking which rooms our cats are in, provided that we put a tiny BLE dongle on their collar.

I miss my self-hosting hobby
Earlier I had six raspberry pi's spread around the house to try out new things (e.g. room level presence detection - which did not work well despite weeks of tuning - and as snapcast clients). But it became a pita to keep watch over so many independent systems, updating them, remembering the IP, passwords, forgetting what I have installed last time, etc. This is what I like with the whole docker thing: fire up a container, tweak it, and then if it is not used delete it again without affecting the other services.

Triangulation by WiFi and Bluetooth for presence in rooms?
You can try room-assistant. It takes your Bluetooth devices and calculates distance, works quite nice in my environment for in room detection.

Homeassistant , hubitat or homey?
I used open hab https://www.openhab.org/ for a while and really liked it but had trouble getting it to work with the ZigBee USB stick I bought. So I switched to home assistant and have been on that for a couple years now. Both are solid. I like HA a lot but the one down side for me is I have to pay the 5 bucks a month or whatever it is for the cloud access to control things when I'm not home. Openhab has instructions to set up your own server for remote access.

How to have truly smart HVAC?
Here's what I did at my house. I don't control based on dew point and I only have one HVAC unit, but you could pull this off with openHAB and Venstar thermostats. Venstar was the only brand I was able to find with a local API to control the thermostat. You can set up rules in openHAB to perform what you'd like. The rule engine is powerful and flexible. I'm not gonna lie. It's probably going to be a lot of heavy lifting to get it going but it's rewarding once you've set it up.
