I would advise to get an N100-based device with 4x I226-V, HUNSN has those, too (e.g.
HUNSN RJ36
) and they are also available from Kingnovy and Topton via Aliexpress and cost around the same as older CPU generations like N5000 or J4000.
Also, do not get one with the case of the devices you mentioned, as it has bad thermals. Maybe you must also tweak the TDP of the N100 a little down in the BIOS, because most of these devices use more than the Intel preset of 6 Watts.

Well, against all possible reason, it seems the upgrade has helped! It's early days, but so far the usual evening routine (discord chats, and played some Rocket League both as felt like it but also as a good test) and had no issues at all.
I'll continue to test for the next few days, and, all going well, update once more and call this one (thankfully, gratefully, welcomingly) done.
Thanks all for your help throughout.

Last update for this thread!
So far, all's going smoothly. I've actually been seeing very poor mobile performance for a long time on this OPNsense box--WiFiman tests frequently do 1-3mbps down and <1mbps up and then fail before finishing, on what should be a 50/20 link--until this update. Now I can actually do a test at ~30mbps down, ~12mbps up and complete the test. There MUST have just been something wrong with my initial setup or something screwed up over the months since implementing the device, which the new OS has overwritten.
I have one last, quick question if someone doesn't mind a brief answer! (I've taken up enough, haha!)
.4 has just released, but I'm a bit afraid to update again in case something regressed in this update somehow affects me. Would you recommend upgrading?
A big, final, thank you to everyone for your help in this thread, sincerely.
