Yes, "Mini ITX" is just a shape and a standard for where mounting holes go but it is a shape that is sold to a cost-sensitive market where low power ususage and low cost maters. The ITX market is large enough that mass production drives prices down. So it is a good fit to hobby-level machine control. I would think a good place to look as Aliexpress as most of this stuff ships from China at very low cost.
If you are never going to use the computer as an interactive desktop you could use a Raspberry Pi4. Then use any standard PC notebook to remote log-in and run the display from the notebook over WiFi. A Pi4 is 1/2 the cost of the cheapest ITX board.
