spectraldoge, I’ve using Wahoo Kickr Bike since last July and absolutely love it. I cannot speak about your financial situation and if a $3,500 trainer is within your reach, or if you have room for it. If it is “within reach”, it emulates riding a road bike as good as it gets, and, by the way, it is a perfect do-it-yourself bike fitting device (if you want to try what would happen if you move your saddle or handlebars in horizontal or vertical direction). They regularly appear at REI, for example (which is where I got mine, and annual dividend from this purchase pretty much paid for a new bike computer). It is great for training - you can do it at any time of the day, in any weather, as it is all indoors. All you need in addition is a couple of powerful fans. It is great at simulating resistance and tilt of the bike forwards/backwards if you ride up or down the hill. I’ve been using it with Zwift, Rouvy AR, and The Sufferfest; tested with FulGaz and RGT cycling and OneLap but did not like those apps, for various reasons. So, it is pretty much universally supported. Cannot speak to Trainer Road - they do not have a free trial and I decided I am not tempted enough to subscribe just to test it, even if I can cancel with a full refund within a month if I do not like it. But I see no reason why it would not be supported.
