It's frustrating to me that even experts here don't measure latency as a first priority. The tooling has been available for years to do this. And it's only getting better and more feature rich, e.g. bounce-back.

--bounceback[=n]
run a TCP bounceback or rps test with optional number writes in a burst per value of n. The default is ten writes every period and the default period is one second (Note: set size with --bounceback-request). See NOTES on clock unsynchronized detections.
--bounceback-hold n
request the server to insert a delay of n milliseconds between its read and write (default is no delay)
--bounceback-no-quickack
request the server not set the TCP_QUICKACK socket option (disabling TCP ACK delays) during a bounceback test (see NOTES)
--bounceback-period[=n]
request the client schedule its send(s) every n seconds (default is one second, use zero value for immediate or continuous back to back)
--bounceback-request n
set the bounceback request size in units bytes. Default value is 100 bytes.
--bounceback-reply n
set the bounceback reply size in units bytes. This supports asymmetric message sizes between the request and the reply. Default value is zero, which uses the value of --bounceback-request.
--bounceback-txdelay n
request the client to delay n seconds between the start of the working load and the bounceback traffic (default is no delay)

If video conferencing worked well enough, they would not have to all
get together in one place and would instead hold IETF meetings online
...?

Did anyone measure latency?   Does anyone measure throughput of
"useful" traffic - e.g., excluding video/audio data that didn't arrive
in time to be actually used on the screen or speaker?

On the subject of how much bandwidth does one household need,
here's a fun stat for you.

At the IETF’s 118th meeting [1] last week (Nov 4 – 10, 2023),
there were over 1,000 engineers in attendance. At peak there were
870 devices connected to the WiFi network. Peak bandwidth usage:

* Downstream peak ~750 Mbps
* Upstream ~250 Mbps
