Actually I think the tplink xdr6088 from aliexpress is a more powerful and affordable than this one. They share the same cpu and switch chip but with a more powerful WiFi 5G chip 7976gn, it even has two 2.5g port and it supports Openwrt.
you may be able to run some form of initramfs and load it via the serial port, but the two ethernet phys likely need some extra attention for them to work due to it being 2.5gbit/s. the rest (4x 1gbit/s) will likely just work. for everything else (flashing permanently) you will have to create a dts file for the kernel to know what it is dealing with
This router is very similar to my ASUS TUF-AX4200 , I sense openwrt on this badboy as soon as it gets more affordable :)

I will try installing OpenWRT on it which should solve the Cloud-only software problem. Hopefully, it will work.

@@bFix This is the road I intend to take, yes. I do need to find a way to get the official firmware, since Zyxel did not make it available.
