Do 2.5G+ In-wall APs or switches exist?

I have a device that I'd like to get 2.5G Ethernet to, but it's in my living room, which only has a single Ethernet pull (and I had to tear off drywall to get that in!). I currently have a Ruckus H550 in-wall AP in use there. The Ruckus provides 4x 1G downstream links; I'm using 2 of them right now, but I'd like at least one of them to be 2.5G. Right now, the only 2.5G-capable in-wall AP that I can find is one of Unifi's, but it's 2.5G up, 1G down, which doesn't help. I can probably live without the extra AP, but no one makes in-wall 2.5G switches, either. I *could* switch the AP out for a keystone jack and use a 2.5G (or 10G) switch there, but I'd like to avoid the mess in my living room if possible.

Does anyone make anything that'd work in this space?

It's an exterior wall, so jamming a box into it would somewhat compromise the insulation. But it's an interesting idea.
