How far can I get with these specs?

I'm planning on hosting a Minecraft server for friends & family, and want to completely avoid monthly subscription fees.

I saw a thread on reddit that criticizes my "old thinkpad server" approach, but I haven't ran into any glaring bottlenecks in my, albeit limited, testing. Let me know if I'm missing anything obvious, this is my first attempt at running a MC server locally.

With these specs I was able to get ~15CPS with Chunky and ~500ms per tile generation on Dynmap. (on Windows)

I'm open to any suggestions for optimization, the purpose of the server is to be a cross-compatible Vanilla world for family, realistic usage would be 3-5 users and peak at 10 users.

specs:

Server-jar: Paper 1.20.1-66
Plugins: Geyser, Floodgate, Chunky, Dynmap 
CPU: Intel i5-3230M 
Memory: 16GB total, 12GB allocated to server
Internet: 200Mb download /20Mb upload
OS: Tested on Windows 10, would be deployed on Rocky Linux or similar distribution
