I've found that people dismiss the idea of a Pi as a router, but in practice it actually works really well. Performance is really close to 1Gb and the software stack is as versatile and maintainable as it can be.

I didn't dismiss it because of performance. I dismissed it due to not being able to run something like pfsense or opnsense. I know it's possible to do everything with Linux and no shiny web frontend, but I don't really want to. If everything was IPv6 it would be easier but I'm a bit scared of getting stuff like NAT rules to work and the router is way too important to be a toy (my household depends on it for work).
