If you like tinkering go for it but if you want a cheap/easy solution go
one bellpush many plug in receivers route

I have thought about this and can't really see any alternative other
than get a doorbell and purchase more than one sounder of the same make
and type. If you choose the same channel one push button should be able
to transmit to a dozen or more sounders. If you choose a respectable
make there might also be visual indicators too.

I have a system much like this .

I have one bellpush but three receiving units, one in the hall, one in
the Living room one at the top of the stairs . It was trivial to adjust
the units so they all reacted to the one bellpush.

Each of these units has an option to have flashing lights only or
'tunes' and lights and also each has a volume control.

The bell units were a cheapo Amazon thing, nothing very technological
or expensive

One bellpush three sounders system if you don't feel you want to faff
(trivial) yourself :-

I am a tad hard of hearing so I have the three sounders
1) the one in the hall lets the pusher know the bell works
2) The on in the living-room can be heard even over my headphones (I am
wearing if on the computer)
3) The one at the top of the stairs allows me to hear the bell even if
in the hobby room.

Son has overly good hearing (hyperacusis[this was actually a problem
when he was younger]) he can hear people at the door even if they don't
ring or knock
