Does this look like a decent starting point for a first router build?

According to this, seems to be limited to the speeds of the Ethernet port: https://superuser.com/questions/1822842/wireguard-performance-on-linux-and-sbcs-banana-pi-orange-pi-zero-3

The link you posted has nothing to do with this SoC?

You're not going to get 2.5G over wireguard on the 3588, but you are definitely going to get over 1G.

Wireguard scales well with cores, but due to the way big.LITTLE is implemented on the 3588, it could lose performance if it tries to split the workload between core complexes.

Sorry, I'm a blank slate on this topic. I'm greedily trying to lap at the fountain of everyone else's knowledge.
