In that case, you likely don't need the managed functions that the switch in this deal offers. Save yourself ~$10 and get this.

Already ordered this one yesterday, Is there actually an advantage except saving $10 on the one above? Probably not worth the hassle of canceling the other one and ordering this one then

No advantage besides cheaper, only disadvantages - not managed, less informative activity LEDs... and you also avoid TP-Link by getting this one instead.
I'd definitely stick with this Netgear even if it is a bit more and even if you aren't going to use the managed switch features. I've had a GS308EP (8 port gigabit PoE+) for several years now and it's been good to me. No hiccups.

Absolutely nothing wrong with a 5 port switch. I have several around for endpoints for office (desktop, laptop, and a printer) and for entertainment area (TV, media player, and AV receiver). 8 port one would just take up more space.

Just got 2gb fiber and I'm a networking newb. I started with a simple ubiquiti 5 port 2.5 unmanaged switch in my office to run a line to my other AP (both Eero pro 7). With this being a managed switch, will I run into any issues downstream? Any other considerations?
What is your router? Mix and match brands will make it less convenient to manage the network like Vlans. This smart managed switch will limit everything connected to 1Gbps, Ubiquiti 2.5G switch should be able to auto-neg just that port connected to this switch to 1Gbps
