It's impressive it takes that much money to do almost no traffic.

A raspberry PI could handle the compute.

Only if the traffic is evenly distributed during the day. Which it's almost certainly not.
You can get a $15 2.5 gigabit ethernet adapter for that Raspberry and now you're set for peak loads.
The traffic graphs in their blog look pretty stable. Maybe 1.5x, but not hugely uneven.
