The Intel N100 will have more than enough processing power. Two issues with the N100 hardware you spec'd. First, if you use Zenarmor and ZFS you will need more than 8Gb of RAM. I would recommend 16Gb. Second, would be finding a system designed for 24hr use. I installed a bargain N100 based system with 4 2.5Gb nics to replace an aging J4125. It did not last a year.
I have 2 C3758 based opnsense firewalls that have been running for 6 years non stop in an office setting without a hiccup. I now use the same hardware at home. The only drawback to the C3758 is that it does not have the horsepower to run the Elasticsearch backend for ZenArmor.
Have fun!
