Not really. The Achilles heel of the Gen 1 was the fact that it would fail to write the MongoDB database update if the UCK crashed. With the newer controller software they either don’t use MongoDB or they use a version of MongoDB where that doesn’t happen anymore so the big USP of the Gen2 models (the battery backed soft shutdown) was no longer relevant. No point in spending a lot of money on something if you don’t need to.
Depending on how technically adept you are, you can run the Network Controller or whatever they call it these days in Oracle Cloud free tier. Then you can back up to local file system and use rsync to GDrive for cloud backups. It's what I did for a good number of months before buying my UDM SE and if you use the ARM images, they are super quick.

Just started getting the following error on two UDM Pro ports:
Might have occurred after a recent software update, both ports are on my IOT VLAN, other ports not on the same VLAN are fine.
Anyone else having port critical errors recently / after a software update?

I get similar errors occasionally but it only seems to show for ports running at 100Mbps and each time I've looked the interfaces have been clean.
Yes, I still use my FTTP / FTTC connections for failover.
It's pretty straightforward to set up, select your options and away you go.
We've had this at work recently and if you look in port manager on the switch and enable TX/RX errors you'll see the problem. In our case this was bad terminations and cables. It seems quite accurate as we'd already been experiencing PoE problems with a phone on the one of the ports it flagged up.
I have not in all honesty as it's just set up to failover which does work well.
In terms of DHCP lease, if it's a new DHCP server it will more than likely get another IP. The best thing you can do once you have installed the USG is to go and power cycle/disconnect and reconnect all the devices.
Also a note about the USG it is EoL and it will struggle with faster fibre connections depending on the feature set used.

They'll get new IP addresses. It isn't so much that a client asks for the same address, it asks if it's current address is still valid which it won't be as the lease will have been given by the Mikrotik and the USG won't know about it
It shouldn't be too much of a problem though.
depends on use case. Residential... absolutely fine unless you need high throughput onto netword storage etc.

UAP-LR or UAP-AC-LR? If it's the former ones with the green (yellow maybe?) LED then I'd probably dispose of them. It's been many moons since firmware was released for them.

Don't move to a USG, it's deprecated and is receiving no updates.
