There is always the option to pick something like a Banana Pi R4 (a router 
board) instead, but you might want to ask yourself why you need it. It's a 
common trope among "big server men" to want dozens of cores, terabytes of 
memory and petabytes of storage for dozens of ports... But on the handful of 
machines I do have multiple NICs on, I never use them. They don't tend to fail 
to the point of needing redundancy IME, and dumb switches on a UPS never 
really fail for me either.

But for things like clustered storage, there is a case to be made for a 
dedicated set of lines just for that, for performance's sake. Probably not 
something you should concern yourself with at this point though.

There is, however, something to be said about your uplink to the internet, as 
well as your power lines. On one of my travels, I had construction workers ram 
their shovels into the telephone lines (Belgium's national network situation 
is rather terrible). Let's just say that I was not pleased. It was eventually 
resolved, but raised the question about the merits of 4G failover.

Generally speaking, start small and see which failures occur in your 
environment and why. Then progressively address them as they happen. Helps to 
establish rationale for what you build and why.
