Into my 6th year of this ... hobby?
As a matter of fact, I played with the now deprecated Elastiflow, however I couldn't get my head around managing ELK, scrapped it pretty quickly, and Netflow did not reach the meaningful stage at that time. OpenNMS looks pretty massive that I can't run it at the moment. Thanks for suggestion though.

Threat detection
One thing I ran for a while was security onion and utilized port mirroring to mirror the uplink port from my primary switch to my LAN on my router, so I was catching anything coming into/out of my network destined for internet. I've also used ElastiFlow ( https://github.com/robcowart/elastiflow ) which is absolutely phenomenal and awesome, I did the same and it provides some great data. You could also leverage IntelOwl ( https://github.com/intelowlproject/IntelOwl ) , one thing I have added to all my VMs is a OSSEC agent, Wazuh to be specific which is free ( https://github.com/wazuh/wazuh ) and while I am not using it to its full potential such as monitoring file deletions/modifications etc it is a powerful tool.

Monitoring all inter-VLAN traffic on 9410 switch?
I'd recommend taking a look at Elastiflow (link is to the legacy version, I haven't used the pay structured tier version that replaced it) as a flow collector. Do it in a docker container, dump netflow to it, and use a sample rate that doesn't fill your collector box with flow packets after a single day. Depends on your traffic rates. We use 1 out of 250 for our rate.

Integrating Cisco ASR with Splunk without Splunk Stream.
I would greatly appreciate insights and recommendations from those who have experience in this area. Additionally, I'm interested in hearing your opinions on the best tool for this task: nProbe or goflow? Your rationale behind your recommendation would be invaluable.

Sflow/netflow platform with ArubaOS-CX
All in one platform would be preferred, but Docker could sway me to something else. Meaning, I don't want to install a bunch of puzzle pieces to get up and running. GoFlow would be an example here.
- Linux Network Traffic Monitor
-
Netflow Monitoring Software Based on FLOSS
Cloudflare goflow / flow-pipeline
- Large scale flow collection

Monitoring 5,000 nodes
For example, for a lot of IDS work, you want to capture netflows if you can. This is something you could do with goflow. Then you can use whatever SIEM/flow analysis tools to figure out what is touching each network location.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing ElastiFlow and goflow you can also consider the following projects:
ntopng - Web-based Traffic and Security Network Traffic Monitoring
goflow2 - High performance sFlow/IPFIX/NetFlow Collector
pfelk - pfSense/OPNsense + Elastic Stack
prometheus - The Prometheus monitoring system and time series database.
LibreNMS - Community-based GPL-licensed network monitoring system
vFlow - Enterprise Network Flow Collector (IPFIX, sFlow, Netflow)
Netdata - The open-source observability platform everyone needs
flow-pipeline - A set of tools and examples to run a flow-pipeline (sFlow, NetFlow)
loki - Like Prometheus, but for logs.
Wazuh - Wazuh - The Open Source Security Platform. Unified XDR and SIEM protection for endpoints and cloud workloads.
Grafana - The open and composable observability and data visualization platform. Visualize metrics, logs, and traces from multiple sources like Prometheus, Loki, Elasticsearch, InfluxDB, Postgres and many more.
