Ive looked - a lot - to try and find a reasonable alternative. I haven't found any devices that are as inexpensive and convenient as the ESP chips. Microchip have some relatively inexpensive WiFi modules that need to be used with another MCU and Silabs have some modules including an ARM MCU (WGM160P). These still need blobs but I'm a little happier with a larger more established silicon vendor.

I think (at least a couple of years ago) you could get a dev kit for Microchips parts. The difficulty was then you're responsible for keeping the WiFi stack up to date.
