Sunshine and Moonlight are the server-client pair of apps you will want to use to do any LAN game streaming. They are relatively easy to set up, but it's something you should know about before purchasing if you intend to use this as a game streaming device.

As for performance, I have not had any issues at all with this model of Shield. I used it to replace the smart features on a 2016 Samsung TV that was getting progressively more annoying and losing support for applications like Twitch.

I do agree that it's amazing that it's still at the current price and hasn't been replaced, yet. When I got mine ~2 years ago I was concerned I was buying something that was going to be replaced imminently. Seems like NVidia just really doesn't care about this market.
What do you use to operate it ? Wireless keyboard/mouse?
- AV1 decode
-install Plex, Jellyfin, Kodi, whatever media server on it
-bookmark all your streaming services in a browser
-run adblocks in the browser(s) or install Pi-Hole in a Docker container
Basically everything the Shield does and then some.
Disclaimer: I have multiple Shields, multiple mini-PCs running as streaming clients, a couple of hefty HTPCs running as media servers, all served by multiple NAS' - the mini-pc option is VERY viable as a streaming box.
I replaced it with nuc size machines running proxmox with one instance as a win11/plex/*arr running.
