I'm not super into the whole sphere here. But as you mentioned the Pi I thought I might chime in. I just ordered a Pi 5, 8GB RAM and 2-3x effective speed of the Pi 4.
I'd youre looking for more powerful hardware in this format the Rockx 5 and Orange Pi 5 are alternatives that go up to 16GB RAM.
Those are all arm though
You need a minipc (you can look at the TDP for power usage)
Power to performance wise a pi isn't actually that good. A thin client can run on less than 60W and offer far more performance
