The only thing missing in my current setup is 10 Gbps (or 2.5 Gbps) to each room. I can and have installed WiFi over PoE for the rooms already so there is no different from what FTTR purportedly offers. Besides the per-room ONT still needs a power outlet to work.
Cat 5e cabling might be an issue if it can’t run at greater than 1 Gbps speed, but wiring or re-wiring is needed in either situation.
The important thing is that the PoE switch and WiFi is owned and managed by myself, there is no outside party involved if I want to make a configuration change. All the single WiFi SSID and seamless roaming between rooms has nothing to do with FTTR, it is just how WiFi works.
Cat 5e is capable for 2.5G,and it might also work up to 5G(But this might depends of the quality of the cable,proper cable will work)Cat 5e cabling might be an issue if it can’t run at greater than 1 Gbps speed, but wiring or re-wiring is needed in either situation.

FTTR is for futureproof for 10G or higher speed and more stability. (Currently most FTTR device setup should also run about 1-2G speed to every room only)
But currently it is not cost-effective for custom diy network,as you need to buy converter to work with current market device.(Fiber to Ethernet).
But if ISP does provide FTTR device for every room needed, and you still want to live at the premise after 7-10years later,then FTTR is okay to implement.
For now, proper Cat 6A ethernet cable is enough for 10G for most house setup.
