However, NUC form factor is more lively than ever before. Maybe someone can grab the language and run for something? Miktrotik guys come into my mind.

It’s complicated. The NUCs had a lot of inevitable catastrophic hardware failures, like NIC ports that would break. Their problem is they were not good.
100% of the Broadwell NUCs, AFAIK, eventually have the problem, but many were trashed before they did. These issues persisted for years, such as with 10th and 12th generation NUCs. Search "proxmox nuc NIC not working".
Broadwell is gonna broadwell. I won't ever trust their NICs ever again. They've been way too much pain with them both personally and professionally.
Their firmware is crap quality, and their bugs are just absolutely astoundingly bad.
At one job we literally had to fix their firmware for them after several months of back-and-forth, engineers spotted the absurdly obvious bug in minutes of seeing their code.
What's the best "NUC-like" product on the market now? I know ASUS has their lineup of "NUC" that was spun off from Intel. I have used MSI's "Cubi" which was a pretty nice kit. And I know everyone drools over Minisforum stuff (which is expensive but very nicely designed). Any other notable ones?
