You can keep it simple and look into a MS108EUP (giving up the option for using Netgear Insight), certainly making a good starting point.
More promising from the bandwidth capabilities and future would make the MS510TXUP, which offers Netgear Insight management.
More difficult to find would be similar priced 16 or 24 port units. A possibility would be the M4350-24X4V for example - fully managed, stackable, ... Just to have enough bandwidth, lots of MultiGig and 10GbE ports. That would be s major investment however.
Don't know what capabilities the coming-up WiFi 7 Wireless AP are bringing to the uplink requirements. My guess it will be challenging 8-)

Also not Netgear Insight manageable, just with Plus Web UI configurable are the XS512EM and the XS724EM, all MultiGig to 10G Ethernet non-PoE ports if you need a switch with more ports than the tiny MS108EUP.
Still readily available worldwide, except of mainland China when I have it right.

Update: Just discovered Netgear has also released the MS108TUP 8-Port Multi-Gigabit (2.5G) Ethernet Ultra60 PoE++ Smart Switch - including Netgear Insight Cloud management - earlier this month.
Pricing is already laying in the market 8-)
