Very nice. I did this myself earlier this summer with NixOS + PC Engines APU2. Costed ~320 USD.

Having a serial connection when tinkering with network config was absolutely crucial for me.

Nice! I wrote about my experience as well in case it's useful, https://skogsbrus.xyz/blog/2022/06/12/router

It's a bit long, but the title sections should let you skip to the interesting bits.
