The RPi 4 is fundamentally different from their other/older boards and the issue you mentioned is no longer applicable (afaik). Disk access will be through the USB (3) port, so that's not ideal. You may also want to read https://www.cnx-software.com/2019/12/01/run-raspberry-pi-4-cooler-new-firmware-easy-trick/ and be sure to check the comments as well. The RPi 4 is also supported by Xen (due to the different HW architecture): https://xenproject.org/2019/12/18/whats-new-in-xen-4-13/ Personally, I'm waiting for a new board revision where the non-standard/ compliant USB-C power port is fixed and possibly/hopefully some (HW?) changes to address the heat issue (further).
