Clearly you neither read my post nor looked into what the air baffle in the T320 actually looks like. So whats your point?

It's much more than a fan shroud. It's a baffle specifically designed to guide cooling air over the CPU heatsinks and the RAM modules. This kind of airflow design is very common in servers. I wouldn't trust it without, especially since the CPU heatsinks have no dedicated fans, but rely on the aerodynamic functioning of the baffle.
And yes, I know they are very similar, in fact I am quite (but not absolutely) certain that they are identical except for the actual second CPU socket. It's almost as if you didn't read my post. Even the soldering points for the second CPU socket are there in the single-CPU T320. They certainly won't have different PSU connectors. They even share part numbers for the case.
I'd have to check the baffle shape again. But thanks for the insight.
I don't think there's anything intrinsically wrong, but far as I can see you are using only a single disk for the zfs pool, which will give you integrity checks (know when something is corrupted), but no way to fix it.
Since this is, by today's standards, a tiny disk at 100G, I assume this is just a test setup? I'm not sure zfs is particularly well suited for virtual machines, I think it is better to have the host handle the physical data integrity by having the disk image on a zfs filesystem, or giving the VM a zfs volume (block device) directly.
What's your problem with DAVx^5? It's completely and permanently free and fully-featured on f-droid. Only the PlayStore version costs money. The authors don't want to make money, but motivate you to move away from Google infrastructure.
If you only need address/phone number sync, then nextcloud is probably overkill, but I use it, and it works great. Also for calendar sync and file storage.

Most of the OnePlus series, including older models, is fully supported by LineageOS, and unlocking the bootloader is straightforward. That were the most important reasons for me to go OnePlus. For me and my family there was nothing else comparably easily supported by Lineage with a good price/performance ratio. We currently use 6T and 8T models, that we bought used. The only downside for me is the lack of a notification light.
Thanks. Right now I'm away from the machine so can't look, but I'll keep an eye open for a T420 mainboard and a second CPU, then. It'll still be a decent machine, I think, with two E5-2470 V2. DDR3 ECC-RAM is also dirt cheap these days.
