Say I'm doing home automation and I decide to go with BLE and Bluetooth Mesh (I didn't realize this was a thing). What's the recommended chip/device/design to bridge this Bluetooth network with "regular" computers?

I can't speak to BLE/Mesh, but the Thread protocol (which Nordic also supports) has the concept of a "Border Router". Which is exactly what you're looking for.

Can anyone here comment on espressif's ble mesh implementation?

I saw a few demos d went through their sdk samples a year and a half ago but those were pretty raw then

I'm planning to use a BLE interface plugged into a Linux computer (RPi or something similar).
