RTS is a good choice for the rollers, it's indeed saving a lot of relays in the central system. Of course RTS is one-way only so the command system has no confirmation that the order was actually executed. I went with RTS for the curtains and I don't regret it. The window shutters are using 3-wire 230V AC motors, so I have two relays per shutter.
For the size of the electrical panel, you can have a look at mine. It has 6 top and 2 bottom DIN rails of 470mm (I believe). 3 are used just for electrical connectors leading to the devices in the flat (one at the top, two at the bottom which are not visible in my pictures). 2 are used for the breakers. I used 2 for the Kincony F32 boxes, and the last one for the power block, the Home Assistant Raspberry, and a Kincony N30 which is not yet wired.
In the space between the 6 top and the 2 bottom rails I built a 8U home-made rack - patch panel in the middle, physical network for the home automation system below (small Mikrotik router and a 8-port PoE switch), and physical network for my LAN above the patch panel (24 port switch, and internet router with the fiber coming in). I chose to have a dedicated physical network (router + switch) for the home automation, as I don't want activities on my LAN to interfere.
Why do you need such a powerful power block? It will stick out of the DIN rails quite a lot. Even the F32 (and the F24) protrude out quite a bit, I needed to cut the covers to allow them to fit, but at least they don't block the rails below and above.
