I find Diversion to be too much of a memory hog to run on my router (RT-AC86U). I run the following:
Skynet (a must. as recommended by many here, great firewall addition)
FreshJR QOS (I've configured it to the way I like.. though thinking hard about switching to CAKE but too lazy to do all the custom QOS rules again)
connmon (to keep track of my connections pinging google.com)
ntpMerlin (I like my own local NTP to keep all my devices sync'ed)
scMerlin (text version of Merlin WebUI, I often SSH into my router and use console more than WebUI)
spdMerlin (to check up on my ISP speed)
I run PiHole separately on another node and route all DNS to that node (IPV4/IPV6) with as my own recursive DNS server (similar to unbound here, but I like PiHole better)
I also recently build my own fork of Merlin's amazing software (my own custom 384.17 with tweaks here and there) with 3 routers (AC86U as main with two AC68Us as AiMesh nodes).
