The best thing you can do is to set your Pi to run Pyrmont. **If you have no trouble syncing and attesting on Pyrmont, your setup should be more than good enough for mainnet** as well (Mainnet is expected to use fewer resources).

We've been running lots of PIs and NanoPCs 24/7 for 3 years and never got a hardware fail. It is easy (and cheap) to get redundancy of components (even spare PIs in different locations, more of this to come).
