there are so so so so so many little guys that obliterate a pi 5 in perf but are built better, have more useful IO, will run more software, etc. that i can't think of a single reason to own a pi unless you really do need that gpio. you just need to find the right eBay search terms. you don't even need to get all that little - for thirty bucks you can get a lenovo thinkcenter tiny and it's just a PC with m.2 and dual DisplayPort and whatnot, might even include a Windows license if you're into that. i think corps have thrown away more of these things than the number of raspis ever made
I have a ThinkCentre tiny as my hardware router (pfSense) and cannot speak highly enough of it. Cheap, small, and incredibly reliable. I should also set up the HP thin client I got a few months ago and actually use it as a proper filehost, and move it off the VM I have on my main home server.
