I’m looking into this right now as well, but mainly for heavy NAS usage. I’m in the unifi ecosystem, so I have a UDM-SE which has a 10G SFP+ port connected to a USW-16-PoE.
I plan to get a synology NAS with at least two ethernet ports. My understanding is that, if I want to support at 10Gbps link to the NAS I will need to get an aggregation switch (this one: https://store.ui.com/us/en/products/usw-aggregation) which I will connect to my UDM-SE.
I don’t know if this is correct or helpful but I don’t _think_ you need to expect a lot more money here. An aggregation switch, the module, and a pci-e card looks like a total of ~$360.

I will then get a MicroTik S+RJ10 module (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078SNK1MY/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?smid=A1DZ2KWUETHME0&psc=1) to connect a regular cat6 cable from the switch to my desktop PC, which I will get a 10Gb PCI-E card for that connection.
