NUC, BeeLink PC etc are all great small form factor but you will have to put Debian on yourself.
If you want to run Home assistant the answer is proxmox If you run zigbee then run a separate MQTT instance and get a ethernet zigbee dongle. (You can run MQTT and in HAOS, works till you need to downgrade one, or restore one, and not the other).
I would also think about building an AM4 box, one with dual PCIE slots and some SATA ports. Local LLM, NVR processing, mass storage etc... Your gonna either end up out growing the nuc or want something more serious down the road. AM4 boxes are cheap (sub 300 bucks) and opens up more potential in the future.
