Reading your post I was initially going to suggest Brocade from eBay until I got to the end. I'm not familiar with the YouTube video you referenced but I have been very happy with my ICX6610's however I will note they are fairly loud.
Licensing is also not a problem, https://forums.servethehome.com/index.php?threads/brocade-icx-series-cheap-powerful-10gbe-40gbe-switching.21107/
You don’t need to pay to unlock the brocades. They 7xxx series use honor based licensing and the 6xxx series can just be updated to a known key. So long as you don’t call ruckus support you don’t need to worry about it. Check out https://fohdeesha.com/docs/brocade-overview.html
