Does this look like a decent starting point for a first router build?

So you'd suggest the Orange Pi Plus?

I have one, and Armbian has an official release for it and works quite well with a Kioxia 512GB NVMe.

But at this moment I'm just saying there are similar boards out there, and the 5 Plus might be slightly cheaper (no wireless though). Radxa also has a similar board based on same SoC but only has one GbE port and price might be similar to the Banana Pi.
