Sadly that ended for me when they went to fiber. Apparently there's no way around having to use thier stuff and pay rent for it.

Sure, but it's weird that they just don't exist. I mean, there are mSATA to IDE adapters ... do those have a bigger market compared to what pci-e dsl modems *would* have if they existed? The controller chips can't be expensive or rare, since they come with the crappiest combo boxes.
They can run custom firmware - openwrt - with a little effort, which is a fun project in itself.
You can find them already flashed cheap on ebay if you dont fancy soldering.
There is excellent documentation from bill here
This is not the kind of hardware you are used to ( it cant compare with a RT-N66U ) but still has adsl /vdsl2, 4 gigabit switch and a usb port you can use to power a raspbery pi zero as a pihole.

Just hope it's wifi doesn't suck

Comes with a customized version of OpenWRT out of the box, but can be flashed with vanilla OpenWRT.
Due to the lack of external antenna the wifi range isn't the best, but otherwise it works great.
Also have a look at the other products of this company. AFAIK they all come with OpenWRT.
It runs Linux and it's cheap - never tried custom firmwares - but has hidden telnet access that allows you to tweak network and usb settings via standard /proc and /sys kernel/userspace interfaces.
Doing that doubled (!) his ftp/samba performances and improved usb speeds too. I even installed dropbear for fun.
Unfortunately those settings does not survive reboot, but a script on the raspberry pi does everything for me anytime i need to reboot it.
If you are in low budget, consider it as good router and usb2 nas, good value after tweaks. But nothing more than that.
It seems openwrt can be installed on it.

Regarding custom firmware, I don't know. But the rest of your requirements is met. And it's quite cheap also.
