Good god no.

Getting my own modem and using my own router was the only way I could:

  1. Get a non CG-NAT IPv4 address
  2. Set up port forwarding for my ipv4 stack
  3. set up firewall rules for my ipv6 stack
  4. Use a non trash tier wireless access point.

The box they gave me had no configuration options outside of renaming the SSID and was only able to do dual stack light. Ridiculous.

Well if you can't use the router to connect to the fiber, they maybe you can do this : Fiber > isp router > ethernet > custom router > devices.

This would just add a slight negligible latency increase and maybe limit the max speed to the ethernet port, but you'll get all the benefits of the second router.

The second router having it's DHCP network with it's firewall.

Also double NAT

If they allow their router to be configured as a modem maybe. Else wise you would be behind double NAT for ipv4 and double firewalled for ipv6. This would be worse than everything else.
