As someone is very comfortable on Cisco / Arista / juniper, yes. It’s the only platform I’d push someone to use the web ui on.
Ubiquiti isn’t perfect, but it’s what I’d recommend over mikrotik.

I have a mikrotik 10gb switch and managing it is super frustrating. The mikrotik cli just makes no sense imho
I gave it a ip and enabled snmp for metrics, then have never wanted to go near it again.
I’d also suggest throwing more cores at it than you think it needs, and increasing the nic buffer sizes. This is what finally solved the random 1-2 minute outages I was seeing on lemmy.ca, turns out we were somehow saturating the queues even at relatively low traffic levels. (these issues might be specific to our model nic)
Finally, make sure hardware offloading is disabled, and your CPU type is set to host.
I made that mistake with Spotify, got a family plan years ago and hooked my sister + nephew + niece up. Now if I want to cancel it and they lose their playlists, they’ll be all pissy.
