WAN switch recommendation

We currently use a setup of ISP router <-> Peplink loadbalancer <-> ASA.

The Peplink manages our /30 net of public IPs and does a bit of loadbalancing on the LAN side (small office - can do without). As the Peplinks need to be replaced I consider ditching them completely.

My idea is for the ASA to arp for the public IPs and have a WAN switch point to the assigned MAC-addresses on the ASA.

For a WAN switch I thought about getting a small 8-port HP/Aruba 2530, maybe as a stacked pair for HA. I have to admit that I have only used the 2530 as an access switch so far so I do not know if it is a good choice.

Does that approach sound okay?
