A lot of devices require internet for st least one time to set them up.
How can I set them up such that as soon as I’ve programmed them/set their schedule, I can deny them access and prevent them from being chatty back with the mothership?

Many commercial routers have a parental controls section, you can block access to the internet per device.
If your IoT devices are TPLink Kasa devices there is a github project that lets you connect to them first and change them from remote server to local server and configure them for your wireless LAN. It only works on certain firmware as the company has been updating the hardware and firmware to stop this.
