I'd strongly suggest you use a machine on your LAN behind the firewall, in my opinion those are not suitable services to run on a firewall.

If you have a powerful enough machine, you could run a hypervisor on it (e.g. VMware ESXi or Microsoft Hyper-V) and provision a VM for OPNsense and one or more for the other LAN services you are considering.

In this case I would prefer to setup a DMZ

A DMZ is easy enough to set up with either hypervisor, since the host will have multiple network interfaces to support OPNsense.
