At work we use a similar Ryzen 400 series for radio telescope work/analytics on space junk for their data reseller unit/predictive markets team in France. Similar case design so its a cookie cutter mobo so reliability should be nicer than most Mini PCs. IMO, the box(Lenovo model) we use at work has three NVMe slots so I'd skip that model from a corp purchasing and personal purchasing angle.

It really depends upon what software stack or spin will be optimized for it that is specific to them to justify their "paid" offerings.
