The Intel "Next Unit of Computing" form factors are attractive
(although a bit more expensive than a bare-bones system)
for a frontend (small, quiet).

But as I recall, VAAPI (at least the Intel driver) still did not
support advanced deinterlacers(*).  Motion adaptive was a
work in progress (but not yet shipping), but motion
compensated was out of scope (which would be the
equivalent of some of the best nVidia deinterlacers).
AFAIK bob is the only working de-interlacer for VAAPI
that is available today.

(*) Of course, for some, their display device already
performs good deinterlacing, so this is not an issue.
