I’m in a similar boat. Have a Netgate 7100 and it’s garbage. My network is mostly 10gb with a few 25gb devices. The 25gb is on the same VLAN so the router doesn’t come into play there, but it does a bunch across the 10gb devices. The netgate can’t handle it. Just bought an r230 and started setting up vyos. If opnsense can handle the traffic I might just go with that. Having a GUI is nice and I’m already familiar with pfsense.
If pfsense can't do it I doublt opnsense can on the same hardware.
You can get pretty close if you throw more powerful hardware at it. I managed to route at least 1.4 million packets per second (~16.8Gb/s, 1500MTU concurrent upload and download summed together) using 4 alder lake P cores on pfsense+ 22.05.
