Traffic doesn't need to go *through* the box, necessarily... you can do router-on-a-stick (www.geeksforgeeks.org/configur...).
Are you looking for a basic router or a traffic server?
Basically I'm trying to accomplish:
- Have an ASN to announce to peer
- /24 is assigned to ASN
- Each host behind the router does own firewall & NAT'ing
- Each host has containers which get assigned a static public / private IP
I guess router with no NAT'ing?

... and now we're out of the area where I have practical experience, so I can only offer limited help. The approach seems over-complicated but I get the impression that's by design so you can learn?
No prob! I appreciate all the help you've given. I'll do more research into my setup, I'm probably making it overcomplicated 🤦♂️
