Yeah, good call. I'd definitely say Creality is good about being open. I've flashed the firmware on one of my two Creality printers. And upgraded it a couple of times, though admittedly only with official Creality parts.
I have a friend who had a printer that I believe didn't have an SD card slot and the Wifi died on it, so it became roughly-speaking useless. I like to lean toward fewer moving parts even if it makes for some inconveniences like having to actually load it onto an SD card and put it in the machine.
If I did really care about wifi connectivity, I'd probably still buy a machine without Wifi built-in and attach a Raspberry Pi running Octoprint to the side.
