I read a bunch of the author’s guides and purchased an ICX6610 as my main switch for home and an ICX7150-C12P for my attic, with a 10gbe fiber link between the two. It’s total overkill but both are really nice pieces of equipment. I use the PoE features for my UniFi wifi setup, and plan to hook up a home server I run to one of the 40gbit ports. The ICX6610 is pretty loud so it needs to be away from living areas, but the 7150 is fanless and silent.

Used commercial equipment is an interesting option that didn't occur to me when looking for a sfp+/sfp28 solution at home. Even with a fanless option like the 7150 (or a similar mikrotik, some of which are cheap enough new) I still ultimately needed an AP with a 5gb connection which basically is the consumer sfp+/wifi router option.
