I wonder if the server version would work better since it can be run without a GUI.

Windows Server doesn't support ARM, neither does Windows IoT Enterprise. The Nano Server install is strictly for virtualized use.

Windows 10 IoT Core has been an option for Raspberry Pi for a while. It's a mostly headless (just the bare amount of UWP GUI support, no Win32), desktop-less SKU intended for embedded installs.
I couldn't think of anything more horrible than running Windows without a GUI. Why not use Linux at that point?
It's the same concept. For linux you'd use SSH which gets you to a shell for remote administration, for Windows you use powershell via the Enter-PSSession command.
