I use a Shelley 1 for my bathroom fans. Shelley's all over my house for lights, something like 30 of them, very reliable.
All tied into homeassistant for automations. I use a humidity sensor to turn bathroom fan on and off.

Shelley 1
So, there's no way to manually turn it on? In my case, I'd add the Shelly inside the well, wired to the Fan, and will always have the Fan switch on?
Yep switch this still works. Can be switched on by switch, automation, or push on phone.
Should say you if you just want a simple timer you can (e.g. turn off street 30 mins) you can do with newer Shelley versions with built in scripting if you don't want to go for full automation system like home assistant.
I've considered going the other way with our bathroom, and just having one switch for everything, as we almost always use the fan and lights all at once. Have you considered just having two switches, one for heat lamps and one for fan and light?
A smart switch just sounds like something to go wrong to me.
Mercator have the ikku range of zigbee switches.
I can’t say they’re great as they’re capacitive, and the no-neutral ones I’ve got give up pretty quickly.
But they do up to 6(?) gang. … if you can find them (you probably need to get them from Aus)
Honestly AS/NZ standards are shiiit. If only for having smart things that probably won’t burn your house down, and if they do it’s (less) your fault.
Use a shelly device, preferably Shelly plus or a gen3
They're designed for retrofit and have a huge amount of support
