So I had been using Rooter in my RV previously combining some 4G modems, Starlink, WiFi and cell phone tethering/hotspots, but I would experience dropouts, I really wanted to use Speedify to make everything a bit faster and more reliable.
However, SmoothWAN does not have nearly the support for 4G WWAN modems that Rooter has. So I decided I would just run both, and it is working pretty well!
I installed SmoothWAN and Rooter on Proxmox. I then created a VLAN interface on Proxmox that is a LAN for Rooter and a WAN for SmoothWAN. Now my ATT modem connection shows up as an ethernet link in SmoothWAN and Rooter does the heavy lift of keeping the modem connected to ATT.
Obviously it incurs some overhead of running two VMs instead of just one, but so far it seems worth the trade off.
