First question would be why do you want to use a POE system? Yes, a good idea if you want to locate your Pi system in a remote location but over complicated otherwise.
I have used a POE system to power a remoted Pi3B+ located in my loft and running the "PiAware" aircraft transponder decoder using kit from the UK PiHut and not forgetting a POE power supply to complement the POE Hat. Whether directly related to the POE system, the Pi3 or the application I did find that it stuffed my TV reception until I added more screening and a ferrite core clamp on the Cat5 cable.
Given the Pi5 is a lot more power hungry it may be necessary for a newer, more power capable POE system, be designed for Pi5 remote deployments. Cobbling together bits necessary to use POE kit designed for a lesser Pi might not be prudent.
Does the proposed remotely deployed system actually need a Pi5? Would a lesser Pi that includes POE support do the job?
Remember also that to get the best of the Pi5, if you really need one, it needs some effective cooling strategy and this can get tricky if the remote deployment is outside, maybe up a pole, in the weather or similar where an appropriately rated IP enclosure will be needed.
