    A big part of 5G is to support a lot more devices at the same time, making congestion a smaller issue.

    5G, at least the fully developed version, which idk if they have here, supports directional beams, beamforming. That reduces any congestion to basically 0.

    Like, I don’t know the specifications here, but 5G would work fine, or possibly be better, than wi-fi. Wi-fi is designed to be shorter range, and doesn’t handle congestion as well, meanwhile mobile networks are designed to support mass amounts of devices simultaneously. 5G was designed with a lot of these future considerations in mind.
