Airfiber p2p configuration options

Inherited a network with a lot of technical debt. Now trying to fix one of my locations that has stretched L2 over wireless p2p. I want to move it to L3 and do eigrp across the p2p for dynamic routing. We will be re-iping the site as part of this as well. We are refreshing switch hardware at the remote site which is a large farm about 1.2 miles down the road. Purchased ubiquiti airfiber 24 hds. Company didn’t want to pay the $90k to run sm fiber there and do it right. Going to start up the new network in parallel with the old. The topology looks something like this...

Core —> Access —> AF24 —> AF24 —> Core

Access switch is catalyst 3650 so L3 capable but currently just running L2.

Ip configuration for the L3 network will be a /29

I think that clears up all the details. What I’d like some advice on is how to configure these?

Create new vlan and vlan interface on core and trunk it through to L2 access switch?

Routed port on the access switch?

Create new vlan and vlan interface on the access switch?

Any other options?

Just looking for some recommendations on how other have done it and or any best practices.
