I have Roon Core running on a 2013 iMac ( 3.4Ghz Intel Core i5 with 16GB of RAM using the latest version of Catalina with no OS optimisation). My router/wifi access point is an Asus RT-AC88. The iMac connects wirelessly to the router and so does my Devialet 440PRO, so na cables anywhere. The Devialet is set for dynamic DHCP and I have done no further network tweaking except to disable wifi airtime fairness on the Asus router.
Using Roon I stream via wifi to the Devialet over both Air and RAAT without any stutters whatsoever. This includes using both local music on the iMac as well as Tidal integration in Roon.
Now during the lockdown I was forced to work from home for the past 2 months. I have started the system daily at 9h00 and switched it off at 16h00 playing music in the background and I have not had a single stutter during this entire period.
So yes, it is possible to get a cable free "bare bones" streaming solution using Roon.
