Perhaps a more affordable option, find some hardware that runs OpenWRT [0].

I run a cheap tiny PC and OpenBSD, if you want a more hands-on config process.

Maybe more fun than practical, given the performance you'll see [1], but OpenBSD has a mips/octeon port which runs on some of Ubiquiti's hw [0].

Fanless 10GbE is pricy.

OPNsense is based on FreeBSD, runs on $100 micro PCs with PCIe quad NIC, https://www.servethehome.com/introducing-project-tinyminimic...

Exactly what I did/do. I vouch for this option.

It's a worthy investment because it's not a retail throwaway item. Also, it comes with a business OPNsense license with 1 year of business updates. After that, it can either stay on that series, run the FOSS version, or one can purchase an S&S uplift later to get time period of additional business updates. Plus, the 2 10 GbE ports can do 10G switching more-or-less flat out (not necessarily over a WG or OpenVPN tunnel though). Until you get 20G internet for whatever reason, it's the last home/small business router you'll ever buy.
