I have a RPi1B that runs Pihole just fine, and I have a RPi4 that runs a bunch of services fine (plug in a SSD, don't use a SD card).
But if you're hoping to do a photo server or run a media centre... nah. Rpis are very power efficient, but for media you really need something that's gonna suck more power.
The Raspberry Pi: When "a computer, any computer" will do. I have so many of them in service bolted to the backs of televisions or monitors as digital signage.
