AC wireless and 10gig Ethernet should hold up pretty well. Ten years from now those will be like N wireless and Cat 6a cable today - better options will be available, but those two will still be usable.

If you plan to stay twenty years or more, it really, really won't hurt to run everything in conduit to make the inevitable upgrades as painless as possible.
I don’t believe there’s such thing when it comes to home infrastructure. My parents built in 2006, which if you think about it, was still pretty mp3, DVD, 1080p centric. Fast forward to today and it’s more about streaming services, 4K soon to be 8k, way more tablets/phones, home assistants and IP cameras. What they put in back then is obsolete or at least severely limiting towards what people today expect to do nowadays. Doing state of the art doesn’t always work out on the time horizon a lot of people have for living in their house.
