Good write up. Thanks for the good lessons learned section.
Tmux is your friend for running stuff disconnected. And I agree with the other post about btrfs send/receive.

They've been rock solid so far. Even through the initial sync from my old file server (pretty intensive network and disk usage for about 5 days straight). I've only been running them for about 3 months so far though, so time will tell. They are like most mini pc manufacturers with funny names though. I doubt I'll ever get any sort of bios/uefi update

I prefer projectivy launcher. It's got a few more features and feels a little more polished.

I have a couple Aoostar R7's (4x in a hyper-converged ceph+cloud-hypervisor+k0s cluster, but that's overkill for most). They have been rock solid. They also have an n100 version with less storage expansion if you don't need it. My nodes probably idle at about 20w fully loaded with drives (2x nvme, 1x sata SSD, 1x sata HDD). Running ~15 containers and a VM or 2. You should be able to easily get 1 (plus memory and drives) for $1000. Throw proxmox and/or some NAS OS on it and you're good to go.
