If you can find a working linux image and install Java on it then I don’t see why it would not work, it is just a matter of how hard you will find this to be. I am an Odroid fan because they release working linux images, give support to users and opensource projects and have a great community.
I use the Odroid C2 which has 2gb ram and it works great and is very easy to get linux and openhab running on it with my script as openhabian does/did not work with getting ARM64 Java running , see here for script…
If you have some linux skills or willing to learn then consider this faster 4gb ram Odroid N2. Bench marks to compare the these two options to a raspberry Pi are in this thread.

BEWARE any arm board that uses big.little processors needs special attention (The C2 and H2 do not use big.little), see this thread…
Lastly there is a new X86 based board that can run at 4 watts IDLE power draw and has 2 SATA, usb3 and M2 NVME support. You can upgrade the ram up to 32gb but it is not included in the price. Since this is x86 and not arm based it will work great. Due to the 2 sata ports you can set it up as a NAS and use docker images to run Openhab in.
