Correct main valve to house?

So, let's get ahead. My water line HASN'T broken. (It did break back in 2021, city side fortunately. It is crazy common in my neighborhood.). I want to keep it that way. We are trying to get a water softener installed. When our plumbers came out and went to turn off the water to the house, he took a look at this valve and basically said "Wrong valve" (commercial vs residential?) Is he correct? A quick online search did show more typical ball valves there. Would taking an impact wrench to this to loosen it be phenomenally stupid?
