What's your opinion on this board? Is it worthwhile to use as a home server?

Pretty killer specs on paper. In my experience, these AliExpress boards have a bunch of minor annoyances that add up. Examples of those annoyances from my experience include:

a complete lack of support after the sale (you’ll never get a BIOS update, or if you do, you have to get it from some dodgy Chinese Dropbox-equivalent),
a lack of 4-pin chassis fan headers,
outdated SATA controllers that don’t let your computer reach higher C-states, and
non-standard CPU coolers that you’ll never be able to replace if they fail.

I own a Chuwi Larkbox X (another N100 device) and I can't tell it to boot up after a power failure in the BIOS. So that is another thing to keep in mind.

It might be 'state after G3'
