Beyond the obvious task of switching, what else does this device need to do?
There are switches that can run OpenWrt, but they are terrible at routing (because of the hardware). There are many routers that can run OpenWrt -- these are the obvious solution if you need to be able to perform any routing, VPN, or other such functions (and yes, you can simply disable the radios and be done with it... it's actually not that much of a waste).
some oher ports to local devices like NAS, or pc-box without wifi
nat/masquerding + nftables
ipsec/openvpn server on router
if possible - freeradius
For now I am happy user of https://openwrt.org/toh/cudy/wr3000h_1 but some of my physical enviornment will change and "router work" and wifi AP cannot be at the same place
You need to use a router for these things. A switch will not cut it.
Most of the routers that have built-in switches are all-in-one wifi routers. However, you can find some wired-only devices like the ER-X and the like. You'll need to determine what your performance requirements are, but in general, a more recent device will likely be a wise choice (even if it has wifi that goes unused).
what kind of port? For me its DSL, so I use a Fritbox 7520 with OpenWRT and just ignore the wifi (turn the radio off)
"router work" and wifi AP cannot be at the same place
Just get one or more AccessPoints. In the meantime we got multiple management tools like OpenSOHO, so no worries about keeping 6-7 APs configured mostly identical.
The seller doesn't know what to do with it. I've seen this time and time again. A device from a big-name vendor is upgraded to a newer one. The owner neither knows nor cares whether the device can be repurposed; they just want to get rid of it so it doesn't take up space in the storage room.
Example : an R4S combined with a managed PoE switch that powers the AP.
You have a lot more ports available on the switch.
One of the decisions in setting up a house/greenfield, is deciding on your concentration point for wiring. If you separate routing from switching, the wiring can be more accomodating.
