Just playing around with the idea that I’d use an old phone as a 5g modem that I’d then attach to a regular router. Is this possible, smart/dumb?

In terms of performance, yes.
However, most Android phones do not handle being plugged in for long periods of time correctly. They absolutely ruin their own batteries in a few months.
What concerns me from your setup is getting the router to recognize the USB internet connection. You’ll probably need some specific dance with adaptors and luck under a full moon.
