Despite the reasons why the 3000G can be ignored as an edge case, it does serve to undermine the regular fallacy presented in future-proofing arguments despite the laudable long-life ecosystem support AMD has fostered. Buy what you need today with the budget you have today.
Good luck!

Though I'm getting tempted to future proof just to save me the labor of swapping out the motherboard when the time comes.
Fortunately I do. I purchased this recently to set up a home NAS. Nothing crazy, but if you like building computers; this and a few other cheap parts got me into unraid and dockers. It was well worth the investment!
Storage prices are awful right now, but I'll cross my fingers we all have a few old hdds sitting around.
