I went the other way; I had a Dell r430 and downsized to two hp elitedesk g4 mini. Together, they use less than half of the power of the 1u server.
But I am never satisfied, I'm sure I'll want to iterate again next year.

Nice write up. I'm in a very similar place at the moment, considering upgrades to my pi4.
Zimaboard.
I went: Pi 2 -> Pi 4 -> Odroid H3 -> Intel N100 box (current). All in all from about 4W idle on the pi to about 10W idle on the N100 box. So not a big power jump all in all, but my needs did get bigger since the Pi.
