Honestly that j1900 looks like a really great choice.
I think the right questions would be whether you can tolerate the VGA
console, whether it will cost more in terms of power consumption,
whether you need the AES-NI instructions. I was going to mention ECC
ram, but the netgate box appears to be Non-ECC :-(
Given the role and quantity of RAM, ECC would be a sensible choice IMO.

I am pretty sure we’ve vetted it; I know I have and I am going to start
deploying it at customer sites over NetGate hardware.

You can buy the 'blessed' hardware alone (e.g. CentOS) from netgate for $300
(2-port) and $350 (4-port). Cheaper than if you buy a preconfigured pfSense
appliance with support. Seems like REALLY inexpensive insurance to be using
vetted hardware that others are also using. In general, I consider cheap
networking gear to be a false economy.
