Poe Switch for 10x Unifi AP

Hi, I need to install 10x Unifi AP AC Long Range Acess Points, I'd like to use a PoE switch because there won't be outlets nearby each AP.

Reading the AP's specs it says:

Power method: 802.3af/A PoE - 24V Passive PoE (Pairs 4, 5+; 7, 8 Return)
Maximum Power Consumption: 6.5W

The maximum lenght of the drops will be about 85 meters.

Thinking about future-proofing my setup (as I might need to add more PoE stuff later on) I was thinking buying a 24 ports Unifi US-24-500W switch (500w). Do you think it's way too overkill for my scenario?

Also, reading the specsheet of the switch, can´t find if all the ports are PoV or just some, like in another switches.

Might be a very dumb post for most of you, lol! Just trying to understand this better with your help!
