UFW stands for uncomplicated firewall and is designed to be incredibly simple to use. To get around this, we will install a simpler firewall interface to our Raspberry Pi called UFW. While the Raspberry Pi OS distribution comes with iptables by default, it can be complicated to set up and use. Most of these solutions make use of the netfilter framework that is available within the Linux kernel.
But if you are seriously considering this you'd want to examine what the usage is on your LAN.There are multiple different solutions for adding a firewall to a Linux based operating system. I am sure the processor + iptables (the linux kernel firewall, which is also used in most routers, but hidden behind a simplified interface) can handle that volume, so that is not a problem. If those devices are often used for torrenting or otherwise mass downloading, forget it. I think you want at least 5-10 Mbps available per device and leave plenty of wiggle room in the numbers so half a dozen might be realistic. outgoing is not such a big deal since normal internet usage is mostly in one direction (in). That would not exactly have to be divided since output would be on the USB bus - "not exactly" since the pi's ethernet is already on the USB bus, which is in theory max 480 Mbps so when the ethernet is maxed out, you still have enough left to pass though on the USB bus. If you want to support other people streaming on multiple devices simultaneously, the pi will be a potential bottleneck because of the max 100 Mbps ethernet speed. I am guessing that if so it would limit all traffic in the network to the throughput the pi is able to output (and therefore in most cases not very useful), is that correct? The major advantage would be you could set up a much more fine tuned firewall than you can with the stock software on most home routers. There are advantages and disadvantages to this. Anyway, this would obviously require a bit more hardware - a switch or hub and/or an appropriate wifi adapter.
This is possible although it would make more sense to connect the pi to the router, then everything else to the pi - I mention this because the "along with everything else" in your question is a little ambiguous.
