While researching for parts, I also found this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RR86PFC/ It goes up to 10GHz, and it operates on 5V. Would that also be an option, and possibly allow to get rid of the boost converter too?

What Amazon says

The product was developed using the AD8317 chip and is used for the detection of RF .
Can detect current in -55dBm to 0dBm of an RF , converting the RF into DC output.
The greater the amplitude or power of the RF , the higher the output voltage, and the output voltage is directly proportional to the logarithm of the input amplitude, thereby widening the dynamic range of the detected
It can be widely used in radio frequency detection, power measurement, environmental field strength detection.
It can also be used as part of automatic gain control and automatic level control.
