Do i also need a temperature and humidity controlled room in my home to do this high level hobby, perhaps some transfers standards, Sorry this isn't hobby this is NIST research department

High resolution DAC/ADC testing, voltage references design and experimenting, ratiometric measurements (e.g. bridges, comparators). How these areas fill into home hobby? Well, that's a question outside of the choosing DMM here. It's often not resolution what justify such instruments, but their stability and accuracy. But that's only if 7.5/8.5 meter is tested and calibrated. Otherwise calibrated 6.5-digit meter in such cases often provide better accuracy than uncalibrated unknown 8.5-digit one.

Quite so.
I hear Chinese whispers a 6.5 digit model is not too far from the marketplace.

Well, a 7 1/2 digit multimeter will give you some good resolution for temperature measurement.
My new Keithley DMM7510 shows 4 digits after the decimal point.

I had a very good Fluke probe sitting in a bottle of water that was at equilibrium with the room temperature for a few days already.
The probe needed some hours to settle until only the last digit fluctuated.
Then I took a LED flashlight from about 1 m away and pointed it at the PT100 sensor inside the water bottle
And the last digit started to climb
Pretty amazing to see this.

Here is a first screen shot, just figured out to use HOME and ENTER simultaneous to get a screen shot to the USB stick.
(Why can the Keysight 34470A not have this cool feature)

Stop it....  I'm drooling.....   Every hobby Lab should have a DMM7510.....

Based on the resolution of the temperate you are reading  I assume you are using a quantum mechanics sensor otherwise all those digits except the first 2 is a lot on nonsense number
