If you couldn't find a dedicated cable, but did have a cable nearby that's already in use for something else like a camera, you can always add a switch and route your WAN over a (third party gateway) VLAN, then loop it out of a LAN port on the UDM back into a WAN port. .Useful for putting a modem distant to the UDM. Don't keep that crap £100/month 3GB connection as a backup either, get something cheap on 4/5G with a Teltonika TRB device and an external antenna. I did the VLAN trick with mine to put the PoE powered TRB140 4G gateway up in a treehouse.
That was nice clean work, interesting set up. On the UDM pro you can also use port 8 for ethernet-based internet connection. There is an option in the UI to enable it. No need to buy an adapter for the SPF+ port.
What an absolute mess of wiring and set up. Hardly anything labelled up or cable tied. At this level things should be trunked and runs should be super neat and tidy. It's difficult to see what you've done and what previous installers have done but that is a shocking mess. It seems every installer has just been in and added to a legacy set up to create that manifests in a horrendous mess of a set up. Unbelievable people pay professionals for this.
Sorry mate, I disagree. Most of the time, it's not the installer's fault. Cleaning up a mess like this will take hours. A lot of clients aren't willing to pay the money to clean this up.

Great advice @darcsentor
10:45 I would do the same:P
yuck, what about the cable management in the rack? that's a shame ;-)
