Do you think hat I could use a Dell Wyse 7010 (Zx0) as a home server
with Pi-hole, OpenVPN and a Minecraft Server?

You will early be able to do everything but a minecraft server. You
will struggle with the 2gb RAM and 4gb storage. I run a few thin
clients in my setup and they are all good.

Thin clients are generally fine for this stuff.

The 2 GB RAM and 4 GB storage are a bit too small to be practical, but
if you have an old DDR3 SODIMM lying around you can bump it to 8 GB,
and with a flexible SATA extension cable you can connect any SATA
HDD/SSD you have lying around as well.

Bear in mind that the newer 7020 and 5070 models go for pretty much
the same (dirt cheap) prices and are a bit faster/more ram/more
storage, I’d probably go for those over the 7010.
