Is MikroTik RB951Ui-2HnD suitable for an office with 50 devices?

I plan to purchase a main router for the office. I am looking at MikroTik RB951Ui-2HnD as a budget, but seemingly powerful model with good reviews.
There are about 30 jobs, plus all sorts of laptop phones, in general, we consider 50 devices at the peak, it can rarely be 70-80. There is little traffic - all the equipment is old, 100-megabit, mostly documents are transmitted via LAN, occasionally - backups, which also don't "weigh" much.
Features that will definitely be used: regular routing, IP address subnet isolation (using iptables), traffic shaping. WAN connection - IPoE.
Will this router be enough for my purposes?

RBD52G or RB951G-2HnD?
I advise you to take a fresh model anyway :)
changed it in several branches - an excellent replacement for the previous 951

More than enough. Although, if we take it, it's still gigabit. Sooner or later you will have devices with gigabit, change the router again? IMHO, nowadays it's better to take gigabit right away.

Well, if you do not feel sorry for throwing out 3500 - feel free to take it. The model is old, the ports are 100Mbps, the radio is like that, the percentage is weak and it goes away from any sneeze into the ceiling. Today you don’t really need anything, tomorrow you will need it, and the piece of iron will be a bottleneck.
It is quite possible to take something of the 4011 level to an office for 50 devices, it is not so expensive.

As said above, take hap ac2. There, hardware encryption is supported and a modern 4-core processor. Better 4011

I don’t know what the masters write there - I have 951 for 30 PCs + printers, a modification with 1Gbps ports.
All devices on setevushka 1 Gigabit.
Processing load 5 - 15%
White IP, NAT. A little firewall.
Queues, I don't use the mangle.

He is as old as a mammoth. Better then hap ac2, or hex s, the latter if WiFi is not needed.
