Wanted to get some clarification. I know that these are purley Layer 3 but with a NIM we can enable Layer 2 support. Question is does this enable Layer 2 support on all interfaces? Ex. the original routed SFP ports? Or is this limited to just the NIM ports.

Layer-2 is limited to the NIM module. The original onboard ports that come with the router are all layer-3 only.

I don't think there is any switch module that comes with SFP ports. Have a look at this link under the "Ethernet switch" section.
A few of them are l2/l3 modules but I don't see any SFP ports. Maybe you can convert one of the copper ports to SFP using a media converter.

Thanks! Are there any modules that would allow us to create an SVI and apply vlan to multiple ports but supports SFP? There are so many modules but trying to figure out which would best fit this solution rather than creating subinterfaces and a transit switch.

Ah ok makes sense looking at the sheet those WAN NIMs are routed only. So really its just the Ethernet switch NIMs but defeats the purpose as we have SFP single mode.
