Not sure how much more it would cost to run. If you only really talk about stuff a pi can do as well, you wont be maxing out your cores. You will use a bit more maybe. Nothing sort of whatever you only really keep in mind for monero mining.

USFF boxes are quite a bit smaller footprint than 1 sq/ft, about 7"x7"x1.4"

If you just need GPIO for low level electronics there are 20$ SBCs that get the job done. No need for a full RPi5.

If you’re running a remote controlled car you want something way down the power scale like as ESP32 or even an ATTiny + radio HW.
Mind you, I don’t disagree with your point, juts tought the example wasn’t correct for it.
