I can confirm that this works just fine. I have 2 RockPro64's running Fedora 37 here and using u-boot on SPI from there. It reminds me I should document how I built a Fedora based NAS with 10 drives using a RockPro64. It is not the most performant but suits me
Yes, please do that. I'm keeping an eye out for a replacement of my current Atom-based NAS and this could be it. Please include some benchmarks and power consumption info.
Depending on how much of a rush you're in I would look for something based on the rk3568 [1], as it has 3x sata, 2x NIC and 2x pcie options, or the rk3588 series. We don't support them fully as yet, especially the later, but they'll be more performant and will quickly start to replace the venerable rk3399. F-38 should support the rk356x series pretty well outside of the firmware support which still needs improvement.
