Roaming with an active voice or audio call is the toughest situation to handle seamlessly. Even with 802.11 r/k/v it may not be perfectly seamless. That said, this is my non-exhaustive understanding of vendors that may have support for these protocols.
Netgear: none
Eero: At least 802.11r
Ubiquiti: At least 802.11r on Unifi, 802.11k coming later, 802.11v unknown
Google: unknown but probably no
Linksys: At least 802.11r on their Maxstream products; Velop 802.11r/k (yes?)
BTW: The single pack versions of the Unifi APs come with PoE injector, so you don't strictly need a PoE switch. You still need to wire Ethernet.
