Recommendations for a dedicated astro camera

Up until now I have been imaging single shot unguided with a ZEQ25 and DSLR with an old Vixen ED80S.
Some time ago during COVID lashed out and bought a CEM70 and a Stellarvue SVX102T with the view of taking the next step.
Unfortunately opportunity and equipment issues (faulty iPolar in the CEM now back at iOptron for repair or replacement), has stalled those plans.
Still, looking ahead, I want to develop a top class no excuses outfit and have also purchased an ASAIR Pro to act as the hub for that.
My next consideration is to buy a dedicated Astro camera.
I am sure there is a big learning curve to get to where I would like to end with guiding, monochrome cameras, filter wheels, processing etc. so I don't want to make things too complex or more expensive than necessary.
So looking for recommendations for a relatively inexpensive but adequate Astro camera to work with to replace my DSLR.
PS I live in suburban Geelong with probably mid Bortle skies.
