I've got a D9 running with Valetudo! It's fantastic! Not only am I not worried about privacy concerns, but it works with my HA seamlessly. Check out their list of supported vacuums.
I second Valetudo. I’m using it on a roborock S5 and installation was pretty straight forward. Even if it takes more effort to „root“ your vacuum it is definitely worth it. I also integrate my vacuum in HA over mqtt.
It's absurd how much better it makes the vacuums to use. Interaction through the Web UI is just instant, instead of having to bounce to servers halfway around the world before acting on it. It's the primary decider of which vacuum I consider now.
Thirding Valetudo, it's amazing. I even swapped out the default voice files with ones I wrote, then ran the new text through a GLaDOS voice generator.
