Asus firewall delays connections from outside?

I have somewhat strange issue: my router is RT-AX88U pro. I also have Synology NAS and running reverse proxy there, so port 443 is forwarded to synology internal IP. This way i access my "stuff": Home Assistant, synology portal, cameras etc. I experience occasional delayed first access ( 5+ seconds) , but i narrowed it down to the fact that it only happens if asus firewall is turned on. If i turn it off access is immediate. As said, this delay happens only at first access after a while. When first page opens after this delay all runs smoothly afterwards.
What's even worse: this doesn't happen all the time, only every now and then. But when it does it can happen that i must refresh site even two or three times before i get access.

Does this makes any sense at all? And, how "unsafe" it is to have this firewall turned off? I have AdGuard Home running on my Asus, too, but that's not the problem (at least it doesn't seem to).
Oh, i should also mention that i also have firewall turned on in Synology, but honestly i didn't try to turn it off, because all works if i turn off asus one... is having two firewalls turned on be a problem?
