What about OpenWRT?
As for the integration of linux to Active Directory, Ubuntu does support out of box tools for it but in my testing I've found that Fedora and Rocky integrate far better specially if you are also authenticating your NAS against AD.
I run a ZimaBoard with OPNsense as my primary (home) router. It's perfectly fine and actually a great option. Tiny power usage and unparalleled expandability for the price and size. I currently don't use the PCI-E expansion slot (yet), mostly cause I have no need, but being able to plonk in a 4 port intel NIC or a 10g card or any sort is obviously fantastic.
Mikrotik is made for software engineers. It integrates well with k8s and other super complicated setups where we might have service mesh etc, but you have to write your own code to manage it. There are Terraform providers (which is a You Are Google level technology that you need software engineers for) that can be customized (again, requires Golang knowledge) to do automated configuration in a declarative, version controlled manner.
Redhat IdM. Running in a completely linux environment and it's great. Centralized sudoers and RBAC/HBAC. It – like AD – combines ldap and kerberos.
Look at @TheNetworkberg for Mikrotik
Could be interesting to see Samba as an AD controller….. using the Windows AD management tools to integrate with Samba
On the question of Firewalla it’s perfect for setting up my parents network and for OTG stuff like a hotel.
I can recommend the network berg for mikrotik content
