This shouldn't be needed since auto reconnect defaults to true in the underlying library, however we might as well be explicit about it. So it can stay.

// Attach an event handler to force a reconnect specifically on disconnect events
WiFi.onEvent([](WiFiEvent_t event, WiFiEventInfo_t info){
#ifdef WIFI_DEBUG_LOGGING
Serial.println("WiFi disconnected. Forcing reconnect...");

Please remove the #ifdef sections and replace Serial.println(...) with WIFI_DEBUG_PRINTLN(...). The latter automatically handles the case where wifi debug logging is disabled.

#endif
WiFi.reconnect();
