Depends on the use case. My employer is using it successfully
since years. Of course: No X, no database, no big data, but some
hungry Pythons and a web interface :~)

The forementioned hardware needs < 0.5 W, the manufacturer even
claims 0.18 W. AFAIK, most newer ARM boards that are capable to
run Debian need more energy or am I wrong?
(Furthermore, any replacement of hardware has many environmental
effects apart of energy consumption: Use of rare materials,
production side effects, transport, waste problems, etc.)
