Tor uses a lot of crypto operations so you're better off with beefier hardware than a raspberry pi (though a RPi4 would probably do the trick). But you need a somewhat-stable connection and IP address. Bandwidth and latency is what matters for onion routing.

Also, running a relay has close to zero consequences, but running an exit node can get you into trouble with your local authorities asking wtf are these and those requests coming from your IP. Overall, it's better to do it from a dedicated IP address.
