I have more than 100 zigbee devices, a unifi setup, I host my own email server, I use Arch BTW, use Firefox, have been in IT since years started with 1 and until recently my daily driver was a ThinkPad x200 with libreboot (because coreboot had binary blobs) and I have not one, but 3 of these. They are cheap, convenient, sound okay and are easy to monitor for internet traffic.
