Like everything, it depends. As long as you understand the limitations,
work within those contraints and don't have unreasonable expectations
it is amazing what can be done.(*)

This 67 year adolescent runs 2 RPI household servers. One provides DNS,
imap, smtp, dhcp, ntp, syslog and some limited nfs and web services for the
household LAN machines. However, it does that from a USB attached harddrive
and only boots off the SD card /boot partition, which is ordinarily
read-only - no other partitions used. It currently has been up over 400
days. The other is a backup server.

Raspberry PI's CAN be made to do all sorts - as can any of the other
look-alike SBC's out there now. I am though about to upgrade to a Raspberry
Pi 4B - the extra memory and USB/LAN throughput will be nice to have,
especially for the backup server.

(*) These pi's are a lot more powerfull than the Sun Sparc servers we had
NFS serving user data to 60+ workstations back in the 00's :-)
