Investing on my own for the first time

Im currently with an advisor at Edward Jones and sick of paying 1.4% AUM. Just started making a lot more money and that fee will add up very quickly. Looking for some general advice. But would a 70/25/5 allocation to VTI/VSUX/BND be a good allocation? Im 40 so still relatively young with 250k in assets currently and looking to add another 2k per month outside of my 401k. My wife and I do a backdoor roth strategy and looking for thr best return allocation. My advisor at EJ was just picking stocks and I need a more simplistic portfolio on my own.

I am not looking for financial advice just want to see if I was in the right track with an allocation mix.

Any advice is very much welcome. Thanks in advance.
