Considering Hackintosh Alternatives?

I have been using a Hackintosh for nearly a decade now... and lately, I have realized I don't have the same amount of time I had before to maintain my Hackintosh. Presently, it runs fine but has some minor issues (like sleep not functioning). I am sure I can resolve the issue since it is likely related to the USB mapping in my Opencore setup, but it's just the time it would take to troubleshoot the problem.

Therefore, I was seriously considering getting a M1 Mac Mini 16GB model. Of course, would getting it truly be an upgrade (I assume it would be from a CPU perspective, but I assume GPU wise its not)? Or should I stick to my hackintosh as is? I am not in a rush, but really just looking for convenience, while hoping the Mac Mini is a form of an upgrade. I do have the M1 MacBook Pro which seems to be speedy, but I also use two separate 4K monitors hence me considering the Mac Mini.
