If you want 10G performance, you need to get a 10G nic. They are only 30-40$ on ebay.
While, you CAN bond a pair of 2.5GBe ports, and POTENTIALLY get 5g of throughput, it will not be on a single session. ie- you can’t download a file at 5Gbps.
10G hardware is cheap.
I use technitium as the primary server, with a pair of backup servers running bind9.
The backup servers do zone-transfers from the primary.
Ebay.
Also, i3 doesn’t really use less power. The -T models will use a lot less power. But, you aren’t really going to notice a difference with the i3 models.
TDP is the same between them too.
For reference, I have 3 micros. i5-9500T, i7-6700, and i5-8500t. They all use pretty much the same 8-12watts of idle power.
Also, I generally avoid the pre-6th gen computers. DDR-3, slower, less efficient. i5-6500 is the oldest processors in my lab.
And- right now, 50$ is the going-price for M900s / Optiplexes/etc, with an i5-6500t.
Although, you can get the i3 models for 30$ or so.
Go pick up a optiplex micro on ebay. 6th gen intel, or newer.
This will cost you around 50-150$ depending on which one you get.
Slap a couple NVMes into it, and a 2.5" SSD.
Run your docker containers here, including paperless-ngx.
3kw inverter/charger 1k
Can pick up a 6kw inverter/charger for around 800$. (Prob cheaper if you went with 48v too…)
Been there, and done this project.

Honestly, they are all extremely overpriced, IMO.
You might check out unraid too…
I went from TrueNAS Core -> Unraid -> TrueNAS Scale -> And Landed back on Unraid.
My reasons were documented here: https://xtremeownage.com/2021/11/10/unraid-vs-truenas-scale-2021/
Even if you do want to do casaOS, or linux- I’d still recommend putting proxmox as the base os.
