Best thing to do here is buy a Network interface card with 2 ports that support a floating IP address for HA. each interface can plug into a separate lan switch for HA.
Last time I did this, broadcomm was a good choice.
I would not run any core services on WiFi only.
How many users ? How large a network? Could you offload dhcp/DNS to other devices to improve resiliency?

I definitely don’t intend to run anything core over wifi… my home servers all have direct eth connections but also have WiFi hardware that came with them. The WiFi is really just a backup in case the switch they’re connected to dies. And since it turns out the eth and WiFi devices can share the same ip, having a resilient backup was easier than I expected. In terms of size, the networks has about 70 devices and I’ve got 2 pi hole servers running dhcp & dns services, including unbound, all with ups’ and a generator backup so it’s about as resilient as I can make it.
