How terrible is double NAT? really? (self.selfhosted)

Hi,

I’ve been trying to work out my network architecture with the pieces i have today:

isp box with 10gig dac downlink, 4 ssd bays
pfsense box with dual 10gig dac card
switch with 10gig dac uplink and multi gig rj45
main proxmox host
other devices (laptops, iot…)

ive ran into a dilemma regarding switching my isp box to bridge mode:

if i do, i lose wlan and nas capabilities
if i dont, i have to contend with double nat

i’m sure that eventually i will get an ap (maybe unifi) and a dedicated nas (either home built or something like synology or asustore), but for the moment, i want to keep cost down and gradually add new pieces

i was wondering if double nat is of huge performance and maintenance implications, or if i would be okay running this setup for a few months until i get to add an ap and nas?

thank you
