Does 10G nics for home servers actually do anything? I have a gigabit router and the motherboard on my server is 2.5G. Wouldn't the 10G be throttled once it hits the 1G router and then only send out that speed to all other devices? Would I actually be getting better speeds than what I pay for also?

It's mostly for internal stuff with a NAS. Uploading and downloading files off a NAS or streaming 4K content can all benefit from 10G
