General Discussion / VLAN Implementation, unsure.

Morning.
Currently my OPNSense has a STATIC WAN IP via PPPoE and then 1 DHCP Server, 192.168.5.0.
I was wanting to split my network into 3 vlans, using a L3 Switch, as such;
vlan1 - 192.168.1.0 Home Wifi [will connect to wifi router]
vlan2 - 192.168.2.0 Home Ethernet [any devices physically plugged in]
vlan2 - 192.168.3.0 Home Servers [OMV, Email Servers etc]
Currently said Switch [connecting to LAN of OPNSense] is in L2, all connecting to 192.168.5.0, but I want to restructure my network.
Would I create the 3 vlans as mentioned on the L3 and then create a 4th network [from opnsense to L3] or could vlan1 be an extension of Opnsense DHCP?
I would assume having the network from opnsense to l3 would be it's own network outside of the 3 vlans. Bring that the vlans would be L3, I assume the automatic "communication" of the inter-vlan wouldbe automatic (so like 192.168.2.88 could ping 192.168.3.55 without static routes cause the L3 would already know?).
This will obviously get deeper as I do have a block of static IP's that need to be directed to specific LAN Ip's, but for now I wanna establish the ground rules.
