Are all those necessary? I only ask because I don't want to miss out on a cool benefit I don't know of.

I primarily virtualize all my networking. Proxmox and OPNSense. My AP also handles VLANs. Is it for security? I do have two bonded SFP+ fiber connections between my NAS and switch and my router and switch, but most everything else is fairly basic.

Thanks for the insights

[update]

you guys have way more hard wired things than I do, and they look good. Thanks for the great answers!
