You can still use the SFP+, you just need another transceiver. When you set up the router, you can choose at the beginning whether you want to access the internet via Ethernet or SFP+.

I don't think anyone will be able to answer your question. 50MBit is not that much. I can well imagine that this could be a problem. It also depends on the game.
If you use a voice server, I recommend a local installation to reduce the load on the Internet.
In most cases, it is due to the CPU in the routers. This has 2 to 4 cores and 1.2GHz to 1.8GHz. This is not much.
If you want to make sure it runs properly, I would recommend a device with a good CPU, 1x RJ45 1Gbit and an SSD. You can then install routerOS on it, deactivate the firewall and all encryption and it will certainly run properly. Old computers are also well suited for this. Please not any old laptops. They usually don't have more power than the router :P
In one of our models (firewall/router) we use the i5 8365U with 4 cores / 8 threads at max. 4.10GHz with 8GB RAM. Such a setup is definitely sufficient for your applications.
You can also simply build your own with current Ryzen at low cost.
Here is a list of parts for around 400 CHF.

If you swap the Ryzen 5 3500X for the Ryzen 5 3400G, you lose about 15% performance, but save about 50 CHF.

It depends on your provider. I couldn't because I have fibre coming in. Some providers also want or try to force you to take their router. The difference whether you make a bridge over a 10-core cable or not should not be noticeable.
Not directly, you need a media converter (e.g. from TPlink) from your internet provider if you have a fibre connection, otherwise you don't need anything else. You can hang the router on the wall, it has two prefabricated holes for it.
You get a cable modem from your Internet provider, you only have to connect it via LAN cable to the WAN port on the back of the router (yellow) and that's it :) You also get the modem cable from your Internet provider together with the modem and you simply connect this to the back of the modem and the other end to your cable socket. Is this enough for you as an answer? Greetings Raphi

The SFP port on the router is only intended for the local network, for example for a NAS. You need a media converter for this device, such as the TP-Link mentioned above.

No. This router is not airworthy. 😉
