People are really bad at gouging exactly how powerful an rpi is. I have met people that bought several to do a lot of things that would barely put any stress on a raspberry pi 3. I have a rpi4 4gb that acts as a torrent box, a unifi controller, IRC machine, print server and a music player. I just put an aluminium pipe filled with copper coins on the CPU. The thermal mass and extra heat dissipation area makes sure it rarely goes over 50c. Most of the time (98%?) the workload is just barely discernable from idle.
