Setting aside the tiny screen, it fails the test with the external keyboard.
I'd really like to do this in just two boxes -- and as someone who
touch-types over 80wpm, it must have a really good keyboard.

You can easily attach the largest screen you wish to the HDMI port, and
any flavour of keyboard via USB. + a real mouse too of course, and an
external sound system for digimodes etc. Not forgetting the usual array
of USB<>RS232 devices, or some software can be configured to flip a bit
on the digital I/O header on the Pi, for things like PTT control.
What you CANOT DO (sorry.) Is run native Intel x86 or x64 programs on
it, not even if you use the embedded version of Windows 10.
That is because it does /NOT/ use an Intel CPU, it uses an ARM chip.
(Utterly different op-code/language if you will.) I see many comments
where it would appear that many people do not know or appreciate that
difference.
Programs for the Pi (any version, and any OS) need to be compiled/built
to run on the ARM CPU, usually the best results are when you build from
source on the Pi. Though that can take a while with some software.
