Hello@owenrobles
Moving your important devices on a separate network would really be a good practice in putting extra layer of protection other than just hiding your SSID from guests. We are sorry if our advice may not sound secure to you but we would like to remind you that at the end of the day It will always be your discretion how you wish to secure your network.
Have a lovely day,
