That should be a good board to work with. Sort-of limited I/O, but the 96 boards form-factor is becoming a lot more common. At some point, someone will make a breakout board for that. :)
I've been working with the Zynq Ultrascale+ parts (the ZCU104 dev board) for RealJob, and it's a nice platform. At least with a 64-bit DDR memory the system feels a *LOT* more like a general computer and much less like a low-powered embedded system (eg: the BeagleBone and the Cyclone-V SoC parts). Holler if you need any help. I've got Debian aarch64 running on my ZCU104, which wasn't hard. I just ran the Xilinx Petalinux stuff to build the boot-loader and kernel, and used debootstrap to make the initial rootfs image.
