So is the general consensus that there are no modern SBCs powerful enough to run nextcloud on (apache, mariadb, php) or a mail server (typical postfix, dovecot, opendkim, SpamAssassin etc... ) for a handful of people? That seems hard to believe.
The mail server is easy. Nextcloud is porky. The easy answer is to get a cheap PC but you decided you didn't want to do that. And you don't want to spend any money. That leaves you in the uncomfortable quadrant of "unreliably available specialized boards built from ARM components". It can be done but it will take more work to identify and acquire the board. If you don't like that, then you can change one of your other parameters (software, writing off x86, price, etc) and then the problem becomes easier with more options.
