I'm not really talking about the little "Pi-class" ARM SOC boards, but more the "edge compute" type hardware market that might be served by a small stack of NUCs. The internal bus on the Pi's SoC maxes out at 3.6gbps; it's clearly a non-starter for a high-IO project, but there are plenty that would be highly serviceable.
2.5gBE devices are also becoming more mainstream (Like Orange Pi 5 Plus, Radxa Rock 5).
The main problem is not the interface in most cases, but the internal bandwidth on these boards.
I'll be spinning up an Orange Pi 5 with 8GB of RAM as a home server shortly. Let's see how it goes.
