Nothing wrong with running a Pi with no case, if it's out of harm's
way.

It's a 3.5mm stereo socket.  Quality on the Pi 3B+ and 4 is really not
bad.

Don't go anything less than the 3B+, it really isn't worth the saving. 
While you can run LMS on anything, the faster the unit, the move
responsive it is.  I noticed a considerable improvement going from 3B+
to 4.  Don't worry about the heat, the worst problems were with early
firmware, now fixed.  My 4 runs slightly cooler than my old 3B+ for LMS.
No doubt it would get a lot hotter if I was using its power more long
term, like as a desktop PC.
