For some of us it's a financial issue. I already own a Raspi 4, but don't have money lying around to get a decent mini server (e.g. acceptable performance paired with low power consumption and no fan noise).
I still manage to run a few Docker containers on top of OMV, but need to be mindful of the load:
Jellyfin (no transcoding)
Immich (workers set to minimum)
Backrest (restic frontend)
Duplicati (phasing out)
Heimdall
changedetection.io
Tailscale sidecar containers
But yes, when running a bigger backup job, I pause Immich indexing or shut down Jellyfin, just in case
For the price of as rpi you can nearly get a decent N100 mini computer with 4x2.5ports on Alliexpress. Way more capable and runs on x86-64 architecture.
And there's also room for expension (adding more ram, space)
