Pricey appliance-oriented development. And no fiber, which is critical for internet to home primary switch. And at least go with 10 GbE PoE+ for WiFi 7 APs. Non-cloud DVR security cameras are fine with ordinary PoE and 1 GbE (because cloud only WiFi cameras are inherently insecure). I can haz a Unifi VM that works just fine running under VMware ESXi 7 (old) for free, along with a Samba and NFS NAS, Plex, PlexAmp, Transmission (with Deluge as a backup), RustDesk (on Docker), Docker and K8s boxes, and whatever else I want to throw at it. Those all run on a 512 GiB 96 thread box attached to a SAS 3 4U JBOD with 45 HDDs with PCIe passthrough to the NAS VM. 2 UPSes with 2 2U expander battery packs each; I probably should move to some sort of LiFePO4 UPS at some point. Router is 10 GbE DECISO 740 OPNsense with Wireguard and IPv4/6 dual stack everywhere. Fast, configurable, and works. Also have 2 dedicated 7950X3D boxes with 2x 100 GbE each for network load testing and development. 400 GbE maybe soon.
