Raspberry Pi Zero as a router (alien.top)

I do not know whether I should ask here. Even though I am still thinking about turning my not-used RPI Zero into a router. Now I have an old Archer C6 v2 with OpenWRT and sometimes happen router turns off after connecting the PC. I know it is possible to do it, but I wonder whether RPI would be able to hold the traffic better than the Archer. I should point out, that traffic means a Proxmox server with 2 Linux VMs and 4 PVEs, a television, and 4 Wi-Fi connections. I am thinking about configuring OPNsense on the RPI as well. Would it work or do you have better ideas?

a small x86 box with a couple nics and opnsense would work far better.

This is the way to go. If anyone has suggestions on one, I would love to see them. Most only have 1 nic. A lot of the ones with 2 have a bunch of unnecessary extra IO and cost alot.
