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.
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.
