Do Newest Orbi systems have VLAN tagging for Wifi Clients?
I've seen notes from 2019 that Vlan tags cannot be applied to wifi client devices. Has this changed? If not, why not? What exactly is the point of having 3 SSIDs? Is this for only for throttling?...

Where are you looking at this advertising at?
Only thing really tied to the WAN side is the Guest Network, and this would be isolated from the main LAN side.

Orbi Pro doesn't seem to be available anywhere, and why not include the feature in the latest Orbi 7xx and 9xx?
Plus, the IoT network has full visibility to the rest of the LAN, so what protection does it offer?

Not much all for VLAN with wifi in the home. Ya maybe for some advanced users but home home users want a system to setup easily and just run with out hassles. Most VLAN stuff is used in more office or business class environments mostly.
IoT network wasn't supposed to be isolated. If it was, then the IoT apps would be be able to communicate with there devices from the main WLAN. IoT was only implemented so users could get IoT devices connected to MESH systems only due to long history of users complain that they couldn't due to IoT Mfr lack and design and support of there devices and setup software that they seem to refuse to make work across both 2.4 and 5Ghz since these happen to be both on the same network.
NG choose to put in features where they decide and where they think the market will gain them profit. It's all up to them.
