Does the new ISP require use of their router or just offer it as an option?
AT&T used to require using their router, which was a pile of hot garbage. I have a Mikrotik Router and managed to mostly cut the AT&T router out but I had to configure my router to use the AT&T router for authentication, at which point the Mikrotik would take over. It was complicated to configure but it worked.

At this stage I don’t know - but they seem to describe a setup where they are essentially providing a WiFi 7 router as an access point, which connects to another piece of hardware acting as the gateway

If they don’t say it’s required, assume it’s not and ask them for details to run your own. IMO, you’ll be happier if you can control exactly what you’re running.
