Does this look like a decent starting point for a first router build?

How is the software support? It seems like you could alternatively get a nice quad-core x86 Intel box with a handful of 2.5G ports off of AliExpress for around $120(you’d have to bring your own RAM and SSD in those cases though) and enjoy full Ubuntu/OpenWrt support.
According to the official website, it will officially have Android 12.0, Debian 11 and Buildroot support and will unofficially support Armbian, Ubuntu 20.04, Ubuntu 22.04 and Kylin OS.
As for x86, I’d really like to try and avoid it for a router.
Why? (genuine question)
It’s a couple levels of power more than what I need for a router in my opinion.
