I use a PoE "extractor" to power my RPi over PoE and it works great. The extractor does the negotiation and safely gets the normal 48V PoE power, then converts that to 5V outputted on a USB-C cable that powers the RPi. Extractor also has an Ethernet[1] passthrough port that goes into the RPi as well. A bit basic, but seems relatively error proof.
