Performance wise they are fine, particularly the RK3588 series. If you want to keep up to date, you will have to do some work. If you want a seamless experience, use an x86 SBC, they work great, never worry about kernel support, etc. You will pay for it in performance for watt. (IE 5 watt rk3588 vs 15 watt pentium J6412) There are vendors who seem to care a lot, like Radxa (who makes the rockpi series), and others for whom the sbc offering is basically a test kit for their android tablet SOC's.
