I imagine there'd be a performance penalty if using a flash drive for the OS. Not sure though.

Most important stuff is loaded in RAM, so unless you're downloading the stuff as well, you're probably fine

Only boot performance if you have enough RAM. Linux' pagecache can be quite agressive. I think with 4GB there won't be evicted pages, but with 8GB there won't for sure.

Yeah probably but it could be serviceable over USB C?
