You're right about the shield being the most capable box out there and, IMHO, worth splurging on.
On the other extreme, if you're in the U.S., the Walmart "Onn TV 4K" streaming box is only $20. It should have all the stuff you listed and will be way more responsive than the anemic HW the TV makers use. Note: The remote feels a bit chinsy but it has a lots of buttons (many can be remapped with apps available in the Play store).
"Middle" option might be a "Chromecast with Google TV". More than 2x what the Onn box costs but the build quality is noticably better.
I second the CCwGTV. 4K in my case. Has, AFAIK, the most recent Android version of just about all the Android dongles/boxes. Has a very clean home screen when you enable Apps Only mode. Sadly doesn't have AV1 support (but the HD model does).
Plus one here for the Onn 4k box. Just picked one up about a month ago.
Hadn't heard of these. Thank you
Still thought rokus and syreaning sticks were the go to. These look much better.
