Thank you very much for your reply sailawayrb. I wasn't sure if I was going to get any feedback
In one section, I'm looking at installing a 3 gang ICF box (found them at my local specialty electrical store... they were tough to find) to run wires for this:

In the other section, they'll be single boxes (ethernet and/or HDMI).
So if I understand your suggestion correctly, I should cut out a 16"ish wide (plastic stud to plastic stud) section of drywall from where the box will go, up to the top of the wall. I was wondering if that'd be the best approach, but locally, I've heard people suggest just (as best as I can) cut out around where the box will be and up the wall, and just crackfill in around it. But my concern was that the ICF device boxes have exterior flanges to ensure that it is flush against the wall, and I figured that having a nice piece of drywall around it would go the extra mile to keep it in place.
