If you really want stability, Deskhaus Apex Pro 6 leg is an absolute tank. I have had it for over 2 years now and I have had no issues. The price is definitely on the higher side and the stability may be a bit overkill but I don't regret my purchase.
I also wasn't happy with the desktop options from Deskhaus or other competitors so I had a local woodworker make my desktop.
I think the Desky would be worth it over the one on Wayfair. The Wayfair one's desktop is in three pieces, so you will have two joints down the depth of the desk. Warranty is a good indicator of the company's faith in their product, so I would go with the longer warranty. Their site doesn't show that the 10 year warranty is something you would purchase like an extended warranty, so it should come with your purchase of the desk.
I have a Deskhaus desk that I am very happy with and have used an Uplift desk that was also great. I believe Desky's desk is also manufactured by the same company, Jiecang, except the Deskhaus Apex is manufactured in their US factory.
Uplift would be a good one stop shop for you. They just came out with their v3 but I don't know how it compares to their v2. Deskhaus has their Peak series that is comparable to the Uplift v2, but I don't know if you are willing to wait for it to come back to stock. The Deskhaus Apex is a great desk and I love it, but I don't see it's worth anymore compared to the Peak unless you really want something American made.

I've had my desk haus apex pro for 1.5 years now and I'm very happy with it. It's pricy (I only bought the legs and bought a separate butcher block top). But, it's super stable -- built like a tank. The 20 year warranty is also great for the peace of mind.
I have a 2 monitor set up (with ergotron arms) as well plus a few electronics mounted under the desk. I use it every day and the desk is spacious and doesn't wobble. Definitely worth the money for me.
I have a Desk Haus Apex Pro.
It's a standing desk. Super solid. Doesn't really wobble at all.
The top I have on it is from ikea. It's solid wood but I don't think they carry it anymore. It's over 5 years old.
Uplift was the other brand I was looking at.
I think standing desks are the way to go. Even if you don't want to stand its super nice to be able to make small adjustments to the height of your desk. You can line it up perfectly with your armrests or raise it if you're watching a video and eating. I actually stand with mine quite a bit. But what's really nice is most allow you to use your own top. So you can have the exact size desk you want at the exact height you want. In the future if you need or want to change desk size you can just get a new top.
Deskhaus is the best option in my opinion. I had a Flexispot for about 2 years and it was sufficient as a basic desk. I wanted something bigger and wanted it to be STABLE. I ended up with the Apex Pro and I put a top on it that measures approx. 84” x 34”. I built the top because I wanted to try it. In hindsight, I would probably buy a top if I did it over, whether that meant getting one made or finding one ready made.
For low maintenance, HPL (high pressure laminate) is hard to beat and will last an incredibly long thing.
However, don’t discount wood because you perceive it as being high maintenance. That’s not really accurate.
A slab wood top is probably going to be higher maintenance, as it is a single piece of wood and wood naturally “moves” as the environment changes. A top made from solid wood planks or similar is usually considered stable, because of the construction methods.
If it is made from high quality plywood, it is considered dimensionally stable and there should be essentially no movement to worry about.
The only care required is the same care any table in your home would require, except you want to avoid using harsh cleaners on wood. My desk was finished 2? years ago, I think, and other than the occasional wipe down or clean up from knocking my coffee over, it hasn’t needed any maintenance.

Affordable and stable, but assembly can be confusing.
