If it were 1/10th the price it could be worth moving most of the build process there. If you need the extra validation you could do some final testing on official hardware.

Maybe but it shouldn’t be that big of a difference. M series processors are very energy efficient. Minis aren’t that expensive.

Note: 10x is the multiplier for GitHub actions. So maybe I’m wrong but I’m guessing it’s more capacity than cost and that gap should narrow.
