At what point do you just go for Home Assistant green? It's still cheaper, yes it has less ram but also consumes less power.

If all you want is HA, it's perfectly fine to run on a RPi.

But personally I've grown to host about a dozen other services so the additional compute power, storage and memory is important.

I actually have a server for my other needs and HA Green. Mostly since I want to run the mission critical stuff for my home on a different machine, this way if something were to go wrong with my home server it'd still keep working.

I should add that bigger esphome projects (with custom components) take up to 5 minutes to compile. But that honestly isn't too bad.
