Well depends on what you mean by "support", but I tend to agree most people would be better served spending a bit more (or repurposing older hw) and getting a recent atom/low end x86. They are surprisingly power efficient these days, and idle as low or lower than the rpi4's, and finding one with multiple NIC's shouldn't be to hard. And most are probably much faster than the A72's on the pi. But you wouldn't see people posting about their successes doing this with a atomicPi, chuwi herobox, or the dozens of other inexpensive x86 machines that might be considered competitors because its assumed one can install $RANDOM_OS and configure vlan+routing with them. OTOH, while the rpi's support is weak they guarantee supplies for a fairly long time. Which actually makes them a reasonable choice for this kind of thing if you plan on designing it once, sticking it on box somewhere and expect to be able to buy another in 5-8 years when it dies. Chuwi like random android vendors churns their product lines every couple months with upgrades.
