If you want to have VMs as well, Proxmox is the to-go thing in selfhosting. Maybe your supermicro even has two network interfaces and can have a virtualized firewall or the like.
Not quite sure about your services go sleep thing. Ideally, services won’t use much CPU while idling, but certainly RAM. You can probably build something like you described, but it’s mostly not “a thing” afaik.

Ah so i might be thinking leaving a service running is worse than it actually is then?
The motherboard has two networks ports and a card with another two. There’s also some fibre ports but i imagine I’ll never end up using them haha.
I don’t actually really know much about firewalls at all yet though

For the firewall you can try OPNsense or OpenWrt
