Only if you buy new and get something much more powerful.
I run HASS in a VM on an old small form-factor desktop they were going to throw away at work. The most expensive part of that PC (that I paid for) is the quad intel NIC that I use for my router VM. It can NAT + FW (pf) + VPN (wireguard) at gigabit speeds without breaking a sweat.
This is an HP EliteDesk 800 G2 with an i5-6500 and 32 GB RAM. Similar boxen can be had off ebay for peanuts if you don't live in the boonies (or you'll have to pay for shipping). They may consume more than an RPI, but they are very quiet (I run it 24/7 in a studio apartment and am very sensitive to noise). They're also able to do much more than said pi, since they can use standard off-the-shelf components (regular DIMM RAM, regular SSDs, regular expansion cards, etc).
