Hardware for 10Gbit PPPOE Client (alien.top)

It happens that local provided offers 10Gbit fibre (XGS-PON) via PPPOE (yes, it's quite crazy) for a reasonable price.

I am curious what type of hardware will be enough for 10Gbit PPPOE?
Especially I am looking for something with as low as possible idle power consumption.

On a software side I am thinking about vyOS.

There are some firewall boxes with Intel U300E and 2xSFP+ cages, but not sure how good they are.

I use a Dell R210 ii with a dual port connectx-3 card. This gives it two SFP+ ports. For now it is running pfsense CE. Uses about 30 watts.

Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1240 V2 @ 3.40GHz. I have Ethernet running to the ONT and a DAC cable to my 10G switch. I've had Internet as fast as 2G/2G and this system is yawning.
