I started with a pi 4 and it worked really well!
Thanks, but I decided to go for a 1 liter PC with a 9th gen i7 instead. I can't believe this post is 4 months old lol.

No reason to transcode if you have the bandwidth I've found, just allow / force direct play / direct stream on all clients
Also I run RAID 1 USB HDDs and honestly they do fine with up to a few people at a time streaming

The pi would be fine for a lightweight music server (ex. gonic), maybe a lightweight photo app and pihole.
Fedi software generally requires a decent machine, so it's probably better to use something else; same for matrix.

Each project may publish minimum specs. Find what you and add them up. Fediverse instances can require several services and are the most complex thing on your list.
Thank you! The only thing I'd want to host is Owncast upon reflection, which I probably won't be doing until I have a better setup than I do now.
Owncast is very bandwidth heavy. If your net connection doesn't have a high upload speed you are going to have problems with it.
