Same situation here except I had an up-to-date custom gcc and friends 64-bit build (aarch64).  It was cheap and satisfied my curiousity.  The more serious stuff was still x86_64 at the time.  As for the orange pi, I got suckered in by nvme boot as well as 16G of memory.  However every attempt to liberate it failed.  That turned me off and I quickly abandoned it.

I can relate.

Life is good,
