This sounds like a reasonable solution until you actually set up the router.
On 192.168.0.0 - - - - well I haven't found a way to talk directly to more than

Now if you want to blow a lot of money on routers you could have a router
for each of the 253 addresses in 192.168.a.x (the "a" section) - - - then you
would need one more router to manage all the other routers - - - - which to me
seems rather redundant power hungry and not worth my time.

There's a lot more to routers than the typical D-Link SOHO router, where
/24 is typical. I run pfSense, which is in many ways comparable to
routers from Cisco, etc. I can choose whatever subnet size I want on
IPv4. On IPv6 it's always /64. Larger networks might very well have
more than 254 devices attached. Of course, you don't want too many, as
there will be a lot of broadcast noise. There's no such thing as
broadcasts on IPv6.
