An LED controller in this context doesn’t have much to do with the wall switch. It’s a small box that you plug the dumb LED strips into. You’ll still need a separate wall switch if you want one. There are many different controller brands, they are all about the same size. I would avoid the super cheap ones from China as they generally don’t have good safety certifications.
the Zigbee ones are typically available in many regions.
If you are in North America, zooz is a zwave brand that’s definitely worth considering. The manufacturer has been providing the needed edge drivers.
Another candidate regardless of region is the Zigbee Gledopto models. I know Mariano has an edge driver for at least one of those, GL-C-008S. (They have a lot of different models. If it matters to you, only the “pro“ line are Zigbee repeaters.) or you can connect them to a hue bridge and use them that way.
And here’s the custom edge driver for it:

Because of the height of your ceiling, and the length of the strips you need, I think I would definitely go with a smart controller and dumb LED strips. It should be much less expensive for you to get the brightness you need that way.
You didn’t answer the question about whether you were willing to wait to see what matter candidates will become available. (You said the protocol was fine, but you didn’t say if you were OK with waiting six months or so.) unless you specifically want Wi-Fi, I don’t think there’s any reason to wait in your case if you go with a smart controller/dumb strips setup.
