Absolutely. I dumped most of my PIs for older mini-PCs and NUCs. Throw in a bit more RAM and run Proxmox on it. Way better stability, functionality, and manageability. If you have 3 of those, you can run a Proxmox cluster, which is a godsend for applications like Home Assistant, which require stability and uptime. The only time I use a Pi these days is when I need to interface with something via the GPIO pins. Netbooting increases the reliability vastly.
