If the concerns are mostly about the hardware not being rackable, there is a rackable NAS by Netgear: https://www.netgear.com/business/products/storage/readynas/RN2120.aspx#tab-techspecs with an armhf cpu. Not sure if cpu speed (1.2 GHz) and available RAM (2 GiB) are good enough. The machine can run mainline Linux[1]. I think U-Boot doesn't support this machine in mainline though. Apart from that the people in #debian-arm (e.g. Sledge) seem to be positive that at least armhf should be fine to be built on arm64 hardware.
