Home: I have five APs - partially because of how poor TP-link APs are, partially because of distances, partially because the house is built with reinforced concrete. Main house - two APs. My lab has one AP, my office has one AP and a third one in the roof for outdoors. Oh, I forgot, an extra Netgear for iot, because the current tp-link devices have trouble with doing 2.4GHz and 5GHz at the same time.
With 5 PoE devices, I'd go with a PoE switch. I also have had a bad experience with a TP-Link AP, in that multicasts from the main LAN got into the guest VLAN. This made it impossible to use IPv6 on the guest SSID. BTW, with the Unifi access point, if you buy one, it comes with an injector. If you buy the 5 pack, it doesn't. I guess the presumption is, if you have that many APs, you're likely using a PoE switch.
