IEMs with true stereo?

You have to go with LOW LATENCY BT. like used for the TV to sinc with BT headphones. If the latency were too high then people's mouths wouldn't match the action. Some BT transmitter like the Hosa I have are close to 1/2 sec latent and definitely would not work. But, Xvive is making BT wireless devices that many people are perfectly happy with.
Works one-way as I said. 2-way with BT is too slow for live audio, even w/ BT v5. If you play and sing and need to monitor real-time BT ain't quite there yet.
Another reason not to try it is - it runs in 2.4G spectrum.

I think we are still a few generations off from Bluetooth being a viable option I'm hopefully optimistic tho I'm already seeing wifi 7 being released and I just upgraded to wifi 6e and I thought it was blazing fast. Things are starting to progress fast lately.Im hoping for a Ai based frequency management program to come pre installed on new wireless stuff next

i don't think this is right; "low latency" bluetooth is still like 30ms, totally unusable for live playing

BT audio devices are for listening to playback, something where you're not trying to sync up your own playing to it

I've been using an Xvive U2 (bluetooth) wireless system for a couple of years now. Specs say 5ms latency.
I can feel a little difference between the Xvive and a cable but, nothing I can't live with.

The ultimate 3d mix: About - KLANG
Not cheap, but it is amazing.
the other "no compromise" 3d mix system is the sensaphonics, it avoids all that crazy computer simulation spatial processing by letting you hear the actual surrounding sound change when you turn your head because it puts ambient mics right on the earbuds themselves
