Well, you actually need exits unless your plan always was 'die in a bunker without exits'.
hover drones aren't all that cheap and require either very good ~~crpa~~ gnss antenna, or some kind of visual inertial odometry. Or you'll get althold at best, which isn't really hovering more like flying with the wind. Flying drones are effective because they are cheap, hovering drones (the multi-use ones) are prone to dying to kamikadze drones, they are big, loud, hot, and not very good at transporting things compared to rovers (logistics as you mentioned), one successfull delivery by rover compares to 10-20 deliveries by flying drone.
Still not clear to me how exactly flying drone superiority when traversing hard terrain = bipedal robots are a good idea.
