I also use a lot of eneloops. But some things dislike the 1.2 volts vs the standard 1.5 on alkaline.

Pale Blue Lithium AA/AAA rechargeable are nice as well, but as you point out some devices don't like the slightly lower voltage. They're available on Amazon. One thing I really like about them is they have a USB-C port built into the battery, so no more hunting for the special recharge device to recharge them. Just plug in any old USB-C charge cable directly to the battery. The battery also has a charge light that shows when the battery is fully recharged.

I use Panasonic Eneloop batteries, I have a bunch of them in AA and AAA. They don't seem to go bad. some I have are 15+ years old. I fairly recently bought a set of lithium AA that were rated 50% more power than the Eneloops and don't last as long, I would guess 70% as long, at least in low current draw applications. All were bought from Amazon just because it was easy. I have had several chargers, by a good one that can charge at least 4 cells individually because some times you only need to charge 1 or 3.

Only things I can think of in recent years that used batteries at the rate of maybe making sense and cents is the kids video game controllers when they were younger and headlamps on the job.
Logistically maybe the first thing made sense. The second one not so much.
I have a bunch of motion sensor lights in dark cloests in the house that use AAA. I also use the lights in the camper in the pantry and wardrobes.
Wife has a mirror with a light that she uses at home and when we travel. Uses batteries on the road.
Also have white buckets which I drop LED lights into for lighting when camping with grandkids.
I typically buy 2 packs each of AAs and of AAAs Amazon Basic batteries a year.
I had recharables back in the 90s I got from Radio Shack that were ****. I have been scared of them since.
