Originally I had planned to do what you’re doing and use a mini PC to upgrade from my pi4 eventually what I did was get a Mac Mini and keep the pi for pihole and dhcp.
Not saying you should get a Mac mini m2 but the power consumption was the main push for me to go down that route cause remember you’re running the thjng 24/7 for years and depending where you live electricity isn’t cheap. (I pay 32.5p per kWh)
Considering the cost the same as a decently mid range mini pc (i got mine for £500 new) it makes sense.
If you’re looking at a cheaper budget try finding something at least 8th gen intel and up for better power savings
