Even though IACBE accredits some state universities, I wouldn't worry about it either. Business accreditation (similarly to many professional/secondary accreditation) matters when you get to specific certification or licensing requirements.
There are institutions that are somewhat picky, and it's really entertaining, some require ACBSP or AACSB Bachelors to get into their graduate Masters programs. Many AACSB or ACBSP graduate programs accept individuals from non AACSB/ACBSP into their programs as long as they meet entry requirements and degrees not even in business.
We've recommended HAU MBA because of the cost at $3K for the entire degree, it's RA, that's the main thing you need. There are other institutions that are just NA and cost more than that. WGU MBA you mentioned has the ACBSP but a tad over $3K, it's great to ladder from the UMPI degree into the WGU MBA. It really depends on the student needs or wants...
As mentioned, don't put too much into the programmatic/secondary accreditation, it's a nice to have, but not required. Here's a recent example of someone doing a FREE Associates, ladder to a cheap Bachelors and got into a very good AACSB Masters MBA from LSU-S. I am linking you to my post, their post is the one before it, post #20. Link: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...MBA?page=3
LSU-S MBA seems to check all the boxes of being a cheap/fast/prestige master's degree.
WGU wins the cheap and fast game.
UIUC's iMBA wins the prestige game. Unless you got 77k to drop on an online MBA from UWash then you could do that one for prestige.
