Seems like a pretty weird idea. Thoughts?

Are there any benefits to doing this over having a dedicated server with a vpn you can connect to for outside the network?

Because otherwise this seems like unnecessary performance overhead on a device which I'd like to squeeze as much performance out of in order to play games...

It's a bit like using a laptop for a server, which does have some benefits like lower power consumption and an automatic UPS. But it has the disadvantage of having to put most of your storage in an outside enclosure, which you'd need a UPS for anyway. If you need to run something durable with low storage requirements and high uptime requirements laptops make sense.

This, however, does not.
