In my experience nextcloud was unbearably slow on a Raspi 3b. I'd recommend a an intel j4125 based micro computer, I got mine second hand for about £80 and it's many times faster than the Raspi.

It should run fine for personal use on an rpi4 or 5. The sd card is definitely a bottle neck though, so using a fast usb3 ssd for that probably makes a big difference.

Have you tried NextcloudPi? It's a special build for SBCs and seems to work much better than my current server (HP Microserver Gen 8) for NC anyway. I am using a pi4 though, so ymmv on a 3b
