Perfect for homme, office, emulation and light PC gaming.
Having x2 m.2 ports means that you could sacrifice one to add an m.2 adapter and use an eGPU for a massively better gaming performance.
Soldered RAM is the only bummer, BUT 16gb is plenty and I think that is the reason that these are so cheap, which is a win.

To generalize, the biggest issue with this device and self hosting would be the iGPU. You will have trouble passing through an iGPU to a VM either way. But if you do run PleX on the Proxmox host, or within a LXC container, Intel is better for transcoding video. Yes, the AMD iGPUs are much more powerful. But the Intel iGPUs are better supported for transcoding video.
The second biggest issue is the soldiered RAM. 16 GiB is plenty for a ton of things. But odds are you could fit even more services on the system if you added more RAM. That fact that its soldiered means that if you want more RAM in the future, you buy a new machine. But if 16 GiB is plenty for your needs, and it may be, then this isn't an issue at all.
Love your optimism bro but EVERYTHING I'm reading is that prices are going to continue to climb.
