You would be best served with a separate modem and router. Then a RT-AX86S Asus or similar Asus router.

What vdsl moden router supports merlin

DSL-AX82U supported by GNUton with an official Asuswrt-Merlin fork.

GitHub - gnuton/asuswrt-merlin.ng: Extends the support of Merlin firmware to more ASUS routers

Your VR2800 router is pretty decent device with 4-stream AC Wave 2 radio.

I would also separate the modem and router and get whatever I like better for both.

problem with vr2800 is that the ipv6 firewall filters the icmp, theres no option to disable it. which gives you lower scores on the ipv6. dsl ax82u what cpu does it use? as I heard it has to be a broadcom chip, otherwise you will get ping spikes on the openreach network.

What else is an issue except test scores on one website?

Broadcom BCM6750. I don't know about Openreach network.
