Two USW aggregations as ToR refers to converting multiple USW data points into a single report or record.

It seems I didn't locate any relevant information. Maybe I should consider replacing my current setup. The USW units look great for my needs, and they use only about 30 watts while providing the necessary ports.
i’ve been considering skipping the MCLAG configuration and instead using two separate VLANs that provide network redundancy through just two distinct VLANs to connect. Both switches have 10G links to the UDM Pro, which are protected ports, ensuring they can’t communicate with each other. This approach isn’t as smooth as a full MCLAG setup, but it lets me retain the Unifi gear I’ve already invested in and still work toward having redundant uplinks for my servers. I’m evaluating its practicality, though it might not be feasible. I also noticed some Mikrotik switches that support MCLAG and look quite appealing.
Do you encounter problems with your existing configuration? Are you operating a vital application that demands network reliability? A 10-gigabit connection might be too much for typical residential setups, making extra redundancy unnecessary.
Sure, just confirming there weren't any particular problems you aimed to address.
i've found a solution with port isolation that would allow me to use the USW aggregation switches, here's a quick sketch: Colors represent links, but no longer specific VLANs or whatever. All just the same subnet. X's mean isolated ports, which drop traffic to other isolated ports. All non-isolated ports can still forward traffic to all ports, be them isolated or non-isolated. This way i can have my redundancy and keep the Unify setup, since both routes from the UDM can reach both aggregate switches, but the interconnect between the aggregate switches cannot loop due to the isolated ports. just like the links to the UDM, both switches can reach it individually but one switch cannot talk to the other through the UDM. (But they can talk to eachother over the interconnect!) i even went so far as to already implement this, and it works like a charm!
