All overkill. If you want something more reliable, get some late model HP or Dell thin clients and put Debian on them. Usually you can pick them up for <$75.

I setup something like this to control some farm equipment when I was in college 20 years ago. The farmers’ son called me a few months ago because they were having an issue with the equipment. Turned out oily dust coated the thing and got inside - I had him pop the device open (old Wyse box running Slackware iirc) clean up the goop and hit it with rubbing alcohol. He dried it and everything is working again.
