Yup. Even when software for Ampere (ARM-based general purpose machines) becomes available it almost definitely won't allow running on 3rd party ARM-based hardware (Banana Pi R4 falls into this category) because it'll lack most of needed drivers for peripheral hardware (switch chip, SPI flash, etc.).
Or get one of those "software router" x86 boxes at Aliexpress that have a couple of ethernet ports.
You can get the minimal options for memory and storage, and that makes them quite cheap.
