I'm trying to pick out doorknobs and locks for the house and it turns out I have a lot of feelings about how doors should work

Yes but have you looked at reinforcement for the door frames, steel is your friend

I'm actually leaning towards electronic door strikes, since that provides the best UX when the power fails or the whole system is down, it just turns into a regular keyed door lock

As long as your door frame isn’t wood its not a bad idea, and a pretty proven tech. If the frame is wood or shallow aluminum like having a window next to your door, as we did at our last house, it can be a challenge to fit.
