I use a gl.inet GL-AR150 (US$24 on dx.com) running openwrt with a USB RS232
adapter. Pro: it supports ssh (including key auth), can use wifi to avoid
cabling, can add a USB hub you can support multiple serial ports (I don't)
and it's small and low powered enough to velcro to the back of the machine
and power from its USB port. Con: a bit more involved setup (I use it with
conserver). Happy to share setup details if you want to go this route (off
list since it's veering off-topic).
If you wanted to stick with a similar but pure OpenBSD solution you could
look at something like an Orange Pi Lite (US$20) but you'd have to add
parts (microsd card, case) so it'd probably cost more (and the onboard
wifi isn't supported so if you wanted wifi you'd have to add a USB one).

Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
