Most of those things you mentioned have no need to be isolated and are just being used to support a decision that was already made than evidence that lead to a decision.

You quickly run into religion here.
I run my home as a big broadcast domain, but there's no reason
I wouldn't perhaps segment things differently. There are a lot of people
who just "extend their wifi" by plugging in a 2nd router with a long cable
and don't realize they now have a new layer of nat, they just know
the wifi by the $newRouter got better.
Should I have a lan party VLAN/SSID? Perhaps, but for ease of use
I let my AppleTV be on the same network as my iPhone so I can control them
with the Remote app. Otherwise you quickly get into kinky broadcast relay
or similar issues with multicast groups :)
