Whenever possible, I opt for PoE. It’s a damn shame it’s limited to a niche userbase given its myriad advantages.

Where ever you're putting the TV you have to put in regular power anyways, so it's fairly tidy to just put the device's power cable parallel with the TV's power cable. WiFi will handle communication. On the other hand, NEC and CEC requires minimum of 2 inches gap for communication wiring to electrical so you're now you've got that minor complication.
POE makes sense mostly when it makes sense to combine communication and power cabling. Corded phones, wifi access points, security cameras, small touch screen modules, etc. Not saying what you're doing can't work, but the added expense of installing parallel CAT6 everywhere doesn't seem worth it.
