I see there is a beta version of the 9.0.0.x firmware. Will we ever see a stable version? I see that a new firmware has not been released for a long time. Has support already been discontinued?

That beta brings back terrible memories when it broke down, rendering Ethernet ports non-functional. I remember once having to manually revert the firmware via WiFi because it was my only way to connect to it. (Maybe setting up a VLAN makes the Ethernet ports more reliable for you)...

No issue with stability here.
However, I am using my GT-AXE16000 as an access point. it is in router mode for the reason I explained already, but all features are disabled: DHCP, AI Protection, WAN/NAT, etc. I use but only 1 ethernet port, a 10Gbe trunk to a smart switch. And WIFI (obviously).
I already have a NAS for storage, a dedicated appliance for pfSense (firewall, DNS, NAT, IPS, etc)...
My experience with the beta firmware is that it is really stable when you keep almost everything disabled.
