The specified Static Route Next Hop Router Address can't be in the same subnet as the service/network port.
You have a SVI (vlan interface) on the switch in the same subnet as the service/network port.

Remove the service/network port IP settings and use the SVI to manage the switch. Make sure you can get to the switch via the SVI IP address first.
Code:
serviceport protocol none
serviceport ip none

network protocol none
network parms none
If your PFSense is at 10.7.10.1 then you want to put:
Code:
ip route default-next-hop 10.7.10.1
or
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.7.10.1
In PFSense you need to set routes to the SVI interfaces, I am assuming the SVI is 10.7.10.2.

route 10.0.10.0/24 via 10.7.10.2
route 10.0.20.0/24 via 10.7.10.2
route 10.0.30.0/24 via 10.7.10.2
...

Is there a way to set dhcp relay on each vlan or dhcp server on the switch ?
Don't know about configuring on the switch but I was able to get DHCP working with Server 2012R2. I only tried with 1 subnet scope so not quite sure if it'd work with additional.

If I do "network protocol none" that makes the switch drops the static IP to pfsense, but after that I am able to connect to the SVI 10.0.10.1 from VLAN10 and configure the next hop to 10.7.10.1, but I'm not able to ping 10.7.10.1, which I guess is expected since it has no active IP on pfsense. Not quite sure what's next.

I'm not sure I follow your topology. The NIC on the router is IPed 10.7.10.1? Do you have a VLAN SVI on the switch in that subnet? If not, create one and give it an IP 10.7.10.2 (I assume /24). Configure the switchport that the router is plugged into as an access port for that vlan. Once you do that you should be able to ping 10.7.10.2 from PFSense and 10.7.10.1 from the switch. Then you will need to add routes in PFSense for the other VLAN SVI subnets. Route 10.x.x.x via 10.7.10.2 (the switchport SVI IP).

Has anyone done a multi chassis LAG on these things?

I have been poking at the lacp stuff in the CLI but I haven't been able to get it working.

Code:
interface 0/1
vlan pvid 10
vlan acceptframe admituntaggedonly
vlan ingressfilter
verify with

Code:
#show vlan port 0/1
Thanks. Looks like I didn't even need to do this. All I needed to do was change my IP to one that belonged to 100 vlan then I could hit the pfsense portal and configure the routes. Now everything seems to be working.

I'm running all ports on same vlan.. (1) Have only activated the ports. But I have slow throughput. 400Mbit/s on a 1Gbit link.
I've tested with another switch with same config. And here I have 700Mbit/s.

Not really sure why your having slow performance. What is the temp's of your LB4M reading at?
Is the file transfers running from a 1Gig through the 10Gig back to another 1Gig ?
I'm assuming your file storage is using one of the 10Gig connections ?
33*C is the temp.
I have my computer connected to 1G true 10G to router. Router is connected with 1G to ISP.
If i connect with an older zyxel clean 1G switch. I get better speed.

I se a LOT of log messages under Log -> Buffered log:
FEB 18 18:28:23 10.0.200.77-1 UNKN[147406336]: rlim_api.c(1112) 55545 %% invalid tunnel intfid (32)
What does this mean ?
