Did you ever bother to read some of my guides about LN nodes?
Running a node on a RPi is not a big deal, indeed, but you have to think about RELIABILITY of a weak hardware used for a node system that require strong reliability, for all the rest of the network participants.
Yes maybe you can use it for personal use with few private channels open, but NOT as a routing node as many of those "bitcoiners" are bragging.
Running a public routing node IS A DAMN SERIOUS TASK, so take it seriously not as a video game.

I've read a few of your guides.
Running a routing node will be when I'm more comfortable with lightning.
I'm just asking if there might be another use for the raspi or just sell it & get something more 'beefy'

I’ve moved from Umbrel to EmbassyOS. Seems like a more developed OS with a better team behind it. Also, now it can run on x86 and is no longer limited to rpi. This means you can buy a $50+ “thin client” off of eBay and run far better than a rpi 3 for sure. Or, I bought a $200 Mac mini and it runs like a dream. My rpi syncs 1% blockchain a day. My Mac mini (10 year old model) synced in less than 3 days.
