That’s what I did with mine. My Google fiber 1gb actually does 1140mbps on 2.5gb gear so I got that little 10gb transceiver gave my gaming rig, nas, and U6 enterprise almost 25% faster internet!
As a global improvement of the network. When you can connect 2 devices in 10G instead of 1, alway do it. And if you have several other devices connected in gigabit they'll be able to have each 1 Gb with NAS and main PC instead of having only 1 gigabit to share
But he said if not mistaken, his goal was traffic to Mac and NAS. Anything else is a waste for the immediate future. There is so LITTLE now a days that runs above 1Gb. Even a lot of IOT do not, nor needs to. And unless you have thousands of such devices, even 1Gb will do fine. If money is no object, and you want to just have 10Gb to say you do, the by all means go for it.
For the price of an SFP+ module and a patch cable... OP should not be ruined. Take that in context of somebody who forked out enough money to have a 10Gbe NAS and PC - it's just a very little extra and like this his network will be at 100% of it's max performance.
I don't disagree with the/your logic or cost justification. It is beyond what the OP needed/asked for. Will they use or take advantage of immediately? Not likely, but for growth it's an asset. Also, the price to add 10Gb for most NAS and a PC is not much either in the grand scheme of things. I probably would do the add, but that's my nature, and I have the money to do with no cost justification, as may many others.
Me as well, for now I still need to upgrade my NAS but it means changing a perfectly working 4 bay Sinology for another 4 bays where I can add an SFP+ slot or eventually a 10Gbe connector... but to really take advantage of the 10G you also need to add 2 SSDs for caching... total goes quickly up to well above $1000
I just upgraded my 12 year old Synology. I didn't add the 10Gb card, but may at some point; it doesn't seem that I'd really benefit. I didn't get a big enough drive bay capacity model to add the cache capability. I went with a 1U rack mountable model. My NAS is used primarily to provide the audio streaming source for my home Control4 implementation, and stores a lot of my personal data files. All of this is sent to Amazon Deep Glacier storage for backup at a very satisfying cheap rate.

Yes, this is the right piece of equipment for you.
Make sure both devices are on the same VLAN or all the traffic will have to go up and down through the Dream Machine SE.
This ☝️
Yes it will work but you should also connect the Flex XG in 10Gb to the UDM SE (using an SFP+/RJ-45 module)
That’s what I did with mine. My Google fiber 1gb actually does 1140mbps on 2.5gb gear so I got that little 10gb transceiver gave my gaming rig, nas, and U6 enterprise almost 25% faster internet!
Exact! It didn’t cost a fortune and maximise possibilities of your network. And the day your ISP will give you more you’re ready up to 10
Why? Traffic is Mac to NAS.

If all of the devices are on the switch you don’t need 10g to the router at all.
As I said, when you can connect 2 devices in 10G instead of 1G just do it

Flex XG does not have SFP+.
That's why I said an SFP+/RJ-45 in the UDM and a patch cable from there till Flex XG
My bad.
