I have several other "RaspberryPi-like" SBCs. Rockchip, Pine, Orange, you name it. While all of them still work fine and some are indeed more powerful than the RPi (or have more features), my biggest complaint with them is Linux support by the manufacturer. Many of them run a custom 4.x kernel that requires vendor patches that were never upstreamed, and sometimes the Websites / Downloads for these special kernels don't even work anymore.
Yes, these are older boards (4+ years), so maybe this has changed recently, I don't know
So for something that is facing the Internet I would be very reluctant to use them. For something internal, they're probably fine though
