+1 this. I went further and have a 3 node proxmox cluster with a mix of beelink and minisforum pcs. If I find that I need more cpu power I can add another node to the cluster and drop the weakest link and proxmox handles moving all the vms/lxcs
At $50 a month using cloud services you could buy a very beefy mini pc but that also means you have to manage it. I’d say that it took about a month of setting up everything to get to a point where I only log into proxmox ~1-2 times a month.
