For home I wouldn't really bother with storm control. In the rare case something is actually misbehaving in that regard it's not much work to go fix right and I'd rather do that than mask it with storm control so it's still happening just not enough to cause an obvious signal.
For home wireless another trick, assuming you have a higher end model, is setting it to a different network than the wired. If you're not in particular need for slow service at the very edge of the coverage zone you can also raise the minimum data rate and then BUM traffic and wireless management frames won't be as painful even when they do occur.

While I agree with the general idea, I think that there are only so many hours in a day. If the broken device isn't easily fixable, like most IoT junk out there, it's nice to be able to limit the damage.
There are better network only solutions for unfixable devices when you have that class of gear, such as moving it to its own VLAN which is a good practice for even properly functioning IoT devices.
Storm control has more a "John brought a home Netgear (which ignores but doesn't forward spanning tree packets) and created a loop between two wallports despite spanning tree being enabled on them. Thanks to storm control Jane is still able use her IP phone for a meeting while the network admin investigates a monitoring alert about excessive broadcast drops on John's port which is causing slowdowns in that network" type use case. It's not meant to be the long term solution to anything it's just there for when other long term solutions fail to kick in and you don't want a full outage until you can fix them.
