If the ethernet port doesn't support multigigabit Ethernet, that is a shame. WiFi 6 is great, but we need more development, deployment, and support of multigigabit ethernet for corporate and enterprise customers!

There’s little point to such a feature for the intended use case, which is just to run some VMs to test builds on. At $600 with 32gb of ram multi-gig is asking a little much.

Not it's not, even $150 SBCs like odroid-h3 can have 2x 2.5gbit ethernet ports.
For server usecase this is very unbalanced as far as connectivity goes. Say you want to use the modem or wifi for internet access. Modem gives you 5gbit/s and you'll get out to your network just 1gbit. Wasteful, and it needlessly limits the opportnities.

You can put a 2.5gbe adapter on the USB ports I guess.

That would likely be stretching the USB interface to the limit. Ethernet is full-duplex, USB is not.
Also this SoC doesn't even seem to have proper publicly available datasheet, and whatever marketing stuff qcom has on their website doesn't list USB at all, lol. So for all I care it can have just one host controller. Not interested in SoC with no datasheets, when it's not possible to answer basic questions about the SoC, like how many USB host controllers it has...

USB 3.x is full-duplex: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_3.0
