I had the same experience with a pi 3 and didn't even try a pi 4. I set up a modest intel box and it was interactive.
The 4 might have a better change with gigabit internet and faster usb, but I was still using a fast samsung fit drive, but not fast enough.
To be honest though - the intel box was modest, but still 4x the price. Additionally it's hard to beat a pi for installation - just insert the sd card. (there is always configuration)
