I am using an x86 appliance (Protectli VP2420), does the Intel Celeron J6412 CPU and the OpenWrt 23.05.5 Image support the Software flow offloading and Hardware flow offloading?
Hardware Offloading generally available on MediaTek router chips. Software Offloading is available (in software) on all devices. I would advise testing to see if it gives improvement.
You may wish to enable Packet Steering under the network settings as well.
I don't think so... you can try it and look for kernel oops in dmesg

There is no hardware offload in general on random platforms.
kconfig NFT_FLOW_OFFLOAD has default non-DMA engine to copy packets at lower level than firewall soft offload, it is still copy to memory, look up destination and write to output adapter YMMV.
