Happy to help!
I was thinking the rockpro64 was a little overkill as well.
Honestly, the rock64 isn't that much less powerful than the rpi4, it has good device support in terms of OSes than run on it, cases, people using them, etc (I actually use my rock64 as my primary over the rockpro64, but the rockpro64 has some stuff I am experimenting with so I will be having it to something different like running as a small NAS or heavier compute).
Check out the comparison of the SoC in the rpi4 to that of the rock64:

Also, note that despite being a little less powerful than the 4, it absolutely stomps the rpi3, and I suspect it could absolutely do the same thing (that is to say, they mention the rpi4 because it is 4 times as powerful as the rpi3 in GLOPS, not because only being 3 times as powerful isn't enoguh - in fact, the rock64 came out a year before the rpi3 and was considerably more powerful, so we're talking about a nice SBC - it's also very compact, like around credit card sized):

Happy hunting!
