At a glance, the RX-V4A is 80 watts/channel (vs. 70 on the RX-V385), and supports Airplay 2, Alexa, and Google Assistant. Plus the HDMI 2.1/8k support you mentioned. RX-V385 has Bluetooth only, no wifi.
The RX-V385 is available from Accessories4Less for $199 now (also a refurb, but doesn't include free extended warranty):

HDMI 2.1 board exchange of select 2020 AV Receivers with Certain Gaming, Video Devices
(November 2021)
Affected models: RX-V4A, RX-V6A, RX-A2A and TSR-700
For certain pass-through compatibility with: Xbox Series X, NVIDIA RTX30
From the time we launched several AV receivers in 2020, we stated that we would support emerging HDMI 2.1 capabilities – including pass-through of 4K/120Hz or 8K/60B – in these models via future updates. A hardware update is required on the above AV receivers only for customers who plan to connect Xbox Series X or NVIDIA RTX30 at 4K/120Hz or 8K/60B to these select AV receivers.
Please Note:
You will not need this HDMI board update unless you are planning to connect an Xbox Series X or an NVIDIA RTX30 video graphic card device at 4K/120Hz or 8K/60B signal transmission.
The HDMI board update keeps the specifications of your model's AV receiver the same - 4K/120AB, 8K/60B HDMI 2.1 (with firmware update) with up to 24Gbps on specified inputs will continue to be supported.
Above models manufactured later in 2021, are unaffected by the pass-through issue, requiring only a future firmware update to enable certain HDMI 2.1 capabilities.
Participating in this complimentary board exchange program requires you to send in your current AV receiver to a repair facility with turnaround times estimated at 8-10 business days (includes shipping times). Shipping materials are also available if needed.
If you desire the hardware update and want to check if your model is affected, please sign in or sign up using the form on this page.

What problems would I run into trying to use this with nothing hooked up to the HDMI out?
I am quite specifically considering trying to use the HDMI inputs for digital audio from computers.
But at least so far, my GoogleFu is not working out very well for finding much on this kind of setup.
I also own several receivers from the 80s through the early 2000s. They all differ from each other in sound and efficiency. I own two Yamaha receivers. Both 600 series. Neither could drive the Polk set-up like the Denons did. I sold off the Polk and SVS for more efficient, smaller wall mounted Mirage and kept the Yamahas as they had ARC. The other system has all NHT bookshelf speakers, which are harder to drive, but do fine with the other 600 series Yamaha. The rooms are probably 14x16 and 13x24 with 9' ceilings and open to other rooms. Yamaha makes good equipment, but you benefit by finding speakers that play well with them. The Rti series don't play well with entry to mid level AVRs.
