Juniper ACX710. Yes it also has more ports, but you only pay for the capacity you need (100G minimum). So you could buy a license that would allow you to enable 10x 10G with the 100G ports dormant.

For this particular gig even the MX204 would be overkill in terms of price as well as performance.

Ideally something like 204 but with only those 8 10/1G ports (i.e. without the 4x100G ports)

Yeah the XR thing would be great but NCS540 would be too expensive and too much throughput meaning draws too much power,
