The lan side of the router could be POE powered, connecting to an internal POE switch.

Heck, the POE switch could be on the WAN sorry just using VLAN tagging.

Or just a POE injector anywhere.

I'm not objecting to the barrel plug, it works its serviceable it's reliable. I just have a lot of equipment, and therefore a lot of extra gear, with POE injection so it would be convenient and clean up my rack

You can get a POE breakout that has a barrel plug end? Extra hardware, but I don't hate the modularity.
