"I migrated my Pi-hole from an actual RPi"

Can a RPI be a final solution? It sure can! Can an RPI be a bridge to something else? Yes and that is where it shines!

Having a RPI or two around gives you tools to experiment with. It can be a server, or it can act as an IOT device, or a USB HID device or...

Some of my RPI projects have been replaced with old laptops, or Beelink boxes, or ESP hardware. I think of RPI as a first step, that lets me play before committing to something (and spending).

Yeah I don't think it's an awful tool for experimenting or education. But I regularly see people expecting a Raspberry Pi fleet to be an actual server cluster, and you're just creating a bad time for yourself there.

I use a combination of Intel NUCs, Gigabyte Brix, and flashed Datto Altos (branded Zotac Z-Boxes) for various roles and they absolutely shine whether running Linux or Windows-based workloads.
