We've not seen any upgrade issues, doing it through UNMS hasn't created any issues for us (yet.)
This issue was generally resolved prior to any UNMS compatible firmware.
But you will see this on every single ER-X firmware update notice even today:

I need to replace old 16-port 100Mb switch on our site with 11PCs and few other LAN clients.
What 24-port switch would you recommend in combination with this Mikrotik hEX?
Or do you recommend some 2in1 router+switch device? (I am not experienced with networking so I do not know if this makes sense).Currently, we use TP-Link's TL-R480T+ Load Balance Router between our 16-port Switch and 2 internet connections (one 4G mobile, and one 10/10 on optical fiber)

You know I'd personally only do ER but for this guy with the night hawk a USG is nothing short of an improvement but if the owner was being serious about his business then yea I'd stick with ER-4 or 6
USG doesn't do wireless so this is apple/oranges.

BUt only 25W... Usually a phone is between 3W and 4W usage, which can be roughly 8 phones tops plugged in and maxing out the power usage. But I guess for this project it might be okay.

But for loads of people, PoE isn't even necessary. If you need a lot, well this won't cut it. But if you need very little, or none, it's perfect and CHEAP.

@scottalanmiller Are we talking about the edgerouter with POE?
I haven't used it but looked into it and it seems like some odd non-standard POE implementation. Not the usual PoE/PoE+ you'll find everywhere else.

Yeah, I realized that.

The ES-24-LITE isn't even a PoE switch, not sure why they put the 25W in the title... 25W is the power consumption of the power supply, it has nothing to do with PoE.
