I see Zhone has an outdoor NID that takes an SFP now. ZNID-GE something
or other. I imagine it's fairly pricey though.

All of these things.
I use flat drop and strip it down to the buffer tube upon entry to the
enclosure. A way to attach the strength members a few inches inside
of the cable entry port would be nice, accepting 1" conduit would be
helpful as well.
Also, there needs to be an easy way to pull and replace the
electronics without having to change the enclosure or re-splice.
I pay about $65 for the RB260GS and a Corning enclosure, but you could
get a bit more if everything was integrated properly.

Our fiber drop cable is bigger than a buffer tube, lol!
So these other guys outdoor units already miss the boat by not
understanding that.
Ideally it would have a way to attach to the wall and have a
conduit entry, maybe an inch or inch and half to secure directly
to the conduit so it’s a ‘closed’ conduit system.
The tray area needs to be able to handle a bit of 2-4 strand or
two buffer tubes of 2 strands each.
We only terminate one strand for BIDI, but have two or four
included in the drop as backup.
Again, the drop fiber outer diameter is at least a quarter inch wide.
It would ideally have secure tie down points for the drop fiber
outer casing, and maybe clear tray cover for the inner tubes and
fiber.
Needs a tie down for the splice because we fusion on a length of
patch LC cable to it.
Power wise, POE is great, but would be nice to have both external
AND POE available for redundancy.
I don’t need POE out at all, I’m not doing radio stuff, I just use
it as demarcation and convert to existing Ethernet at the side of
the house.
I need a way to attach an asset tag to it so I cannot be opened
without breaking the tag.
Our plastic tag feeds are about 1/8 inch round.
It might also be nice if there were a back side feed to bring the
Ethernet in directly from the back part of the unit somewhere.
I mean, to mount the NID directly on top of where the Ethernet
from the unit/house comes out.
Most of the Ethernet we work with is indoor that’s left dangling
outdoors for years.
We usually put a box over it and use liquitight conduit to bring
the Ethernet to the NID.
Functionally it must be able to convert a full 1Gbps FDX of
course, but I assume your device already does that.
Management wise I would need SNMP and VLAN capable IP
assignment/management.
I don’t use a lot of the features of the RB260GS, but I do use the
neighborhood discovery name.
I do use filtering to disallow DHCP advertising in case they plug
the Ethernet into the LAN side of their network.
I also use the basic throttling on the web page to take it down to
110Mbps up and down from 100Mbps.
And finally, if you had this same thing in a bigger model
accepting a SFP+ module with 10Gbps switching on around 8 GigE
ports with the same features I would use that as well.

Nice.
The problem with the Mikrotik, UBNT and IgniteNet converters
is that they are not manageable.
For about $40 I was getting a manageable solution with
monitoring (SNMP) built in.
It wasn’t water proof, so I still needed a splice tray and NID
enclosure.
It would be of great interest to me if someone combined all of
this together into a single outdoor NID unit that was POE and
manageable with SNMP.

We have something similar too and available in qty as well.

Sorry for the ignorance...
But what do you mean by "primary SFH" ??
SFH = ???
