Looking for managed switch with POE, 10GbE and more than 10 ports (ideally 24) (alien.top)

I don't know why this is such a hard combo to meet, but I can't seem to find anything that suits. I assume there's enterprise gear that would meet these points, but I'm not sure where to start.

POE is for running a half dozen POE cameras, 3x WIFI6 WAPs, Home Assistant Yellow. I could get away with running a separate POE switch if not for the WAPs (looking at the TP-Link AX11000's which are 10GbE). I could buy a UniFi XG 6 POE for just the WAPs and use another regular POE switch to give me enough ports, but that's just getting messy.

The ideal is to have a high density 10GbE managed switch that I can use for both my regular gear and POE gear (I have 20 ports to connect out to plus gear I might run in the rack). If the Unifi XG Enterprise had POE it would be perfect.

Ah yeah, forgot there is a license lock but it's super easy to get past with some custom firmware, I went through the process in my video on the upgrade here

Yeah, software licenses locking hardware stuff is dumb, but when it's this easy to get around, eh.

You'd think someone who actually gets views on YouTube and makes a good amount of money from it would have covered that part...
