The Mikrotik RB5009 is very affordable and has both SFP+ and 1x 2.5G Ethernet. And you can use either port as WAN or LAN depending on your setup. Will still need a switch however if you have more 2.5G clients.

$200 for a router without a built-in wireless AP isn't what I would call a deal for a home router.

Arguably, > 1G is outside the range of home equipment as most consumers have no need for it. You're asking a 2.5G router, a WiFi 6 AP, and a multi-gig switch all in one package. Most people who care about these also know better than to buy an all-in-one router since they are typically very limited in configuration options, especially if you need any sort of routing tables.

ASUS has some all-in-ones with 2x 10GbE ports but I wouldn't recommend them to anyone.

It actually is quite a good price. Not that I would actually buy it, I would go Mini PC and OPNSense for a router.
