1000/50 would most likely be a DOCSIS modem for coaxial cable, VDSL2 is for copper phone lines.

I would get one of the no-name Chinese 8-port RJ45 + 1 SFP+ switches based on the RTL 8373 that are cheap and use very little power.
What's your budget? The lowest cost Asus router with dual 2.5Gbe ports is the AX88U Pro:

There's also the TP-Link BE550 which has Wi-Fi7 and five 2.5Gbe ports.
What do you recommend without breaking the bank account?
If you don't care about power consumption, look for EOL switches from datacenters. If you care about power consumption, buy multi-gig switches from AliExpress.
It might be best to call the ISP to confirm.
From how I read this diagram, if you are able to get a 1 Gbit plan then it will be either cable or fibre. In that case they will install a Network Termination Device which is the actual device that converts the signal into Ethernet. From there you can connect to your own WiFi router, or the NF20Mesh (but its modem functionality is unused).
