2.5G is still plenty for most creator use cases (even for editing a few 4K livestreams off a NAS). The only difficulty is if you hit certain types of routing, performance can't always keep up (sometimes even to a gigabit).

One thing I'd love is if more vendors would give a bunch of examples and specifically list what things are hardware accelerated and which are not (MikroTik's been pretty good about this lately, though it's a lot of digging in docs).
