Content Caching Bottlenecks

We're looking into adding a content caching M1 Mac mini to our network. I wanted to see what others have run into on their networks.
1. How much storage space would we need? We're only going to cache software updates and apps for macOS and iOS, not iCloud caching.
2. How much network traffic are people seeing? The Mac mini just added a 10 Gigabit Ethernet option. I'm going to say that should be a fat enough pipe.
There anything else that any of you have run into?

1. At least you have 1TB storage.

2. Here is the content caching traffic capture,
assuming more than 500++ iPad devices, more than 300++ mac

Additionally, if you use more than 1 content caching, then set the largest Mac storage to be the parent content caching
