Network Architecture - Questions from an apprentice

Hi all,

I am getting deeper on building networks and I am a bit confused about the following.

Lets put a use case of an office with 5 desktops used for internet services (email, cloud products like Microsoft 365 etc..)

apart from the usual switch-router setup, a firewall should also be in place. Now a days Next Gen FWs are the way forwards but im confused on :

- Should I remove the router and let Cisco ASA to handle routing, VPN and security?

- Would it be better to have a router for routing and VPN and let a FW handle security like (i.e FortiGate NGFW)

What would be the criteria to use in here? any guidance will be much appreciated you beautiful minds
