For me personally... I use VyOS in a VM running on a proxmox host (optiplex, SFF) with a 4-port NIC passthrough. This solves the issue of power for me, as the host has plenty of ram allowing me to run other services without needing an additional machine (although I do have one as a spare). VyOS doesn't currently have a GUI (one is in development), however, it has been very solid for me (also based on debian, which is nice).

I find it to be quite stable, I haven't had any real issues, haven't rebooted except for version updates which isn't too frequent (stable). No GUI built-in, there are a few projects out there and they are working on one officially, but the cli is solid. If you have ever configured juniper routers/switches it is quite similar
Thanks for the post! I didn't realize google was going out of the registrar business. I only have a couple domains with google (mostly stopped using all of google services so this was the final service I was using).
I really like cloudflare due to the at-cost renewal/registration so that'll be where I am moving them to
I currently use VyOS with it hosted on proxmox. I pass-through a 4-port network card and I get my full internet speed. It should be similar, but I will say it is nice being able to host other things on the proxmox host such as pihole. I keep only the router functions and core functions there, with another machine for other services
