Running Nextcloud on OPNsense
The second idea was to try to install Nextcloud on FreeBSD using the OPNsense ports. Bad idea. Nextcloud has a lot of dependencies, it’s too complex to install and impossible to maintain.

FilterLog Change in 21.1.9_1 broke grok
I just did an update from 21.1.2(?) up to 21.1.9_1 and noticed that all my ELK stack > grafana data was no longer working for firewall logged info. I checked the available fields and all the important stuff is missing. Did an explore on the datasource and found the grokparsefailure tag. Quick google found that this patch updated the logfilter for the firewall. I found a previous thread here it provided a new description: ports/description.txt at master · opnsense/ports · GitHub as well as a new grok: OPNsense filterlog GROK patterns · GitHub OPNsense filterlog GROK patterns · GitHub

How to bypass public IP and NAT
Firmware's like Asuswrt-Merlin or OpenWRT can support dynamic-dns, or you can do like I do and run something like OPNsense in an x86 VM with a NIC passed through, or buy an inexpensive firewall appliance (up to 500mbps/1gbps/10gbps).

Stop ISP from getting into my Router
The easiest solution is to buy your own router, set it up, disable the router functionality on the Fritzbox 7590 and plug your router into it. It'll be cheaper and easier than a Cisco Firewall, but if you want to go the dedicated firewall route then I would recommenced OPNsense

OpenBSD Innovations
BSDs may not have a significant presence on desktops, but they're well known in the networking world for their reliability. They also were the foundation used to build OSes for specific applications. OpnSense and XigmaNAS, for example, are two excellent FreeBSD based applications aimed at firewalling/security and NAS/services.
