This can be a good stopgap, but the solution is to lobby for a law that mandates free ONT/modem/router choice.

We have such legislation in NL and the ISP is required to make it possible to use your own equipment.

Coincidentally, I had my ISP register my Fritz!Box Fiber 5590 as my ONT yesterday, so I have it directly hooked up to XGS-PON with their SFP+ module (no more Genexis ONT \o/).

what did registration entail and how long did it take?

Also NL here, my provider has a self service online form for it. Takes only a few minutes.
