The HD doesn't get:

• ⁠Can’t use Homepod stereo pair/EARC audio out • ⁠No smart home stuff

Not entirely true. To pair Apple TV with HomePod, you go to Settings > Audio and Video (or Video and Audio) > Audio. There, the Apple TV will recognize any HomePod device as "temporary" device.

Of course, if your tvOS's version is 17.0 or later, press and hold the monitor-looking button till the upper-right menu appears. Then select Audio and then select a HomePod device if it appears.

I don't know what kind of "smart home stuff" you were referring to, but the Home app might work on tvOS. Right?
