My primary home server _is_ my old desktop with some extra drives in there. It can be useful to have a bit more stability for something that you want to be generally up and change less than your workstation setup, and that drives the need for the extra setup. Then I've got a pi for some low load services that I'd rather not be on the same host as anything internet accessible in case of a security vulnerability (things are containerised, but container escape exploits still feel like they come up relatively frequently). The only thing I feel I'm missing over over a real server would be an IPMI so I can boot it remotely in the event of a power loss. There are solutions to use a rPi for that which I plan to look into... some day.
