You don't buy a Pi for performance. You buy it for peace of mind. If one dies you can easily find a replacement and just swap out the SD card.

Bought, yes. Buy, not so much.
Because where will you buy the replacement once RPI plc has discontinued it? Esp. considering the likes of https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-1973...
Not that different for the prodesk/elitedesk small form factors IMHO. There’s a steady supply of cheap used ones available on most online marketplaces (there’s probably millions of them being cycled out of offices every year).
Get a new replacement one, swap over the NVME. Doesn’t have to be the same cpu, linux handles the rest.
