Get the cheapest Pi you can. There is a Unix package called ser2net that converts the Serial/USB connection to ethernet. (sudo apt install ser2net). I’ve got it running on 22222 so basically emulates the Davis Ethernet dongle.
No real maintenance as the remote Pi is doing nothing related to weewx. It’s just converting serial to IP.
