Is there suitable WAN router model that have the capacity to at least do the following
On another note we've got two Cisco Nexus N9K-C9372TX , performing the following roles:
So probably I can just configure at least 4 ports as router port and use that instead of buying extra devices ? Will this be ok concerning the above roles ? Processor and memory usage not above between 10-30% considering the above roles for the two boxes
Any help with hardware specs and IOS version technology will be really appreciated

In the world of revelution anything possible, any device can be used.
But only concern here most people look at Securty / Demarcation of of LAN vs WAN Edge
if your desing of thinking, yes Nexus work,.but you are fully exposed to WAN ( so that is the not best Practice until this is totaly VPLS and Dark Fibre Lines (only mesh network for your organisation)
in related to
Other hand you WAN Edge routers From Cisco

Look at 4K Models, comes with base and you can upgrade to 1GB speed when your network ready.(or from day 1)
Internms of IOS - IOS-XE is the good move.

Correct you need to buy additional GE module for your extra port requirement.

So if we have to go for the 4451 model, it says Integrated WAN Ports2 PoE GE / SFP then below its shows 2 GE / SFP. Does this mean that it comes with these integrated GE ports ? So in total 4 intergrated GE's then we just have to buy a module that support 2 more GE to make it total of 6 GE ?
