You should be good going to 500mbps. Its about the peak of that orbi's wireless performance but it'll handle it fine. The 50 series has the wider backhaul so will do fine. And wired will still max it out no problem.
Whether you can plug it directly into your ONT is more on your ISP that on the orbi. Some ISP's require their gateway to be used versus others just give an ONT to connect to. But you will be able to use it.
