FOSS photo software with face recognition (note that some of this is off-premise face recognition, sometimes requiring an API key you get on your own)

What I found in my previous search is that either they're really good at managing large collections of photos, or they're really good at doing various AI/recognition, but none of what I've found have been good at both.

Hence my interest in DigiKam as their management features for large collections is second to none.

Isn't that OK? You should be able to find some reasonable workflow around using the recognizer to tag the photo in its EXIF/IPTC metadata, and then load that into the organizer.

It's not not OK :) Just not what I'm looking for, I spend enough time professionally with writing glue code, that I'm looking for a good out-of-the-box experience for something like this.

I think immich will get there eventually
