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!
