Fortigate 90G Wan2 redefined as LAN?

Hi, since I've recently acquired a 10G fiber home connection. I'm kicking around an idea of how to go about getting the most out of the connection.

If I recalled correctly, its possible to define any interface to perform any roles. Is that still correct?

I'm thinking of getting a 90F, and refining WAN2 as the primary LAN interface, and not use the 1GE ports at all or just redefine it as DMZ. Also, throw in dumb 10GE switch behind LAN (WAN2) that so my primary / higher priority computers and devices they would benefit from maximum available speed https://9apps.ooo/ .

Does this configuration seem reasonable and possible?

Preemptively thank you for the inputs

You should be able to. Virtually all ports on any FGT models can be used for either wan or lan ports.

Yes . I did exactly this for a location with a multigig internet circuit. Be aware that you don't get 4 10GB interfaces only 2 because the SFPs and Ethernet are shared media.
