If I want something simple that either passes power through or triggers a switch in response to a configurable/trainable voice command that isn’t net connected, what’s my best bet?

What about https://iot.mozilla.org/gateway/ ?
How would that help? It appears to provide a subset of Home Assistant's functionality.
I thought it provides simple alternative (as asked) with voice commands. But when reading the details the voice processing is not offline (as asked).

Note that in the 0.8 gateway release, browser-based voice commands are processed using Google’s voice assistant API, so the audio strings are processed in the cloud. The speech-to-text result is passed back to your gateway. If you instead type a command into the text field of the smart assistant screen, those commands are processed locally and do not require a connection to the Internet.

EDIT: But hopefully they will move to something like offline Common Voice in some future release.
Home Assistant's Almond/Ada integration does the same thing (without sending anything to Google)
Mycroft?

I want to switch over to Mycroft, does anyone here have a good experience with it? What kind of hardware are you running?

I run it on a pi, but it is definitely not ready for primetime yet unless you want to write your own add-ons. But if you just need it to do one or two things it's pretty great at voice/intent recognition.
