Hopefully, that won't be the case soon! [0] I've no idea how far away the tech is for production use, but I'm quite excited by it myself.

2.5gbps exists today. 10g switches are under $100/port now.

Can you point to any 10g switch on that price range? Last time I searched for there all were over $700 - $1000 USD.

Alternative was to use a 4 ports NIC with bonding but 10Gb will be far more easy and stable.

Here's a good Reddit thread that I used in the past when I set up a 10gb switch a few years back, and it only cost me around $200: https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/comments/2s5x3s/10gb_switch...
