I don't have any interest in this, but I believe it can be accomplished using MetalLB.Scale is nice because of the Apps ecosystem, but has its downsides in not being able to have different IPs for the apps.
The "killer app" in SCALE for me was TrueCharts' Traefik/ingress implementation. Install the app, give it a hostname, and the reverse proxy is all set up with TLS termination, all ready to go. The closest I can come to that under CORE is using Caddy--which is trivial to configure as a reverse proxy, but it still requires manually writing a Caddyfile entry for each reverse proxy. This is something I asked for something like eight years ago in FreeNAS, but iX has never had much apparent interest in implementing. The downside here is you're pretty well married to TrueCharts, and they haven't been very reluctant to implement breaking changes.
I have a moderately-hefty Proxmox cluster; all of this stuff could be implemented there--and with the Proxmox helper scripts, much of it could be very nearly as easy as installing an app. But performance of nzbget under Proxmox, saving to a NFS share on my NAS, is less than 5% of the performance of it running in an app on the NAS.
It's not hate to observe that CORE is far more stable and performant as a storage platform--you know, as a NAS.I’m not sure why all the hate on SCALE
