For home assistant, I use an odroid. There is literally nothing I can think of that I would use a pi 5 for. And I have bought at least 10 earlier pis, pi2, pi3s and a pi 4 over the years.
They are just a dumb combination of hardware at a terrible price point. I don't need constant upgrades to the computing capability, video capability, and dual 4k screens, with stupid micro HDMI dongles. If I wanted to spend $100 on a mini PC, I would expect much better IO capability in 2024.
The nice thing about the MPC is that after you put all the stuff together it is faster and cheaper than Rpi because you need to add power, cooling, storage, case.
The only reason you may want an RPI is if you want to use GPIO, outside of that I would find it real hard to justify a gen 5 which now really needs active cooling or you have an app that only runs on raspbian which is just debian. To that end bookworm has had a bunch of stability issues so even there you may want to wait to update. I just put mine aside to play with.

You can do something like this. RPi 5 will probably be overkill for it as pizero is way more than enough for it.
