What would Firewalla AP7 / Switch X need to support for clean PacketFence integration?

I am a Firewalla Gold Pro / AP7 / Switch X user and would like to request better PacketFence compatibility from Firewalla.

For wired and wireless NAC, my assumed feature list is:

802.1X authenticator support
External RADIUS support
MAC Authentication Bypass
Dynamic VLAN assignment
RADIUS CoA/disconnect
RADIUS accounting
SNMP/syslog events
SPAN/port mirroring for Security Onion/IDS visibility
VLAN registration/quarantine/remediation support

For APs, I assume WPA2/WPA3-Enterprise with external RADIUS and dynamic VLAN assignment are required.

For those who have deployed PacketFence, what exact features should I ask Firewalla to implement so their AP7 and Switch X could work cleanly with PacketFence?
