Announcing the Raspberry Pi PoE+ HAT
The Raspberry Pi Foundation has just announced the Raspberry Pi PoE+ HAT compliant with 802.3at (aka PoE+) and 802.3af standards and support for up to 25.5 Watts input.
It will replace the Raspberry Pi PoE HAT introduced in 2018 which was limited to 802.3af standard with a maximum of 15.4 Watts input and will become available around mid-June for $20 plus taxes and shipping.
HAT = Hardware Attached on Top.
Here is a competing Waveshare PoE HAT for Raspberry Pi 3B+/4B.

As long as the DAC drivers still work this should be fine - the speaker the amp is driving also floats... Now: how much audio-band noise do the PoE circuits make?

I can't answer that. There is quite a bit that goes into a calculation like that, but they haven't released the necessary information to figure that out that I could find. Some PoE circuits will have mains hum if the cable isn't shielded, they are improperly grounded, or built too cheaply, but these shouldn't have that problem in a way that isn't easily rectified. This means your main concern will be the switch noise and harmonics, which I cannot characterize. Some make no noise in those bands, others are partially filtered, some just don't care.
