I think it is overkill--but I did it anyway--so I've been running Raspbian with weewx with the Cumulus plug-in and the CPU is idle. I don't believe heat would be an issue in this config however I am using an RTL-SDR that runs very hot so it skews things. No case or fans presently. My onboard temperature is 65C after running 2 days but I attribute that to the RTL-SDR. So I have heat sinks and a fan on order to deal with that aspect.
If you are grabbing a 4, be aware of the USB-C port: https://www.scorpia.co.uk/2019/06/28/pi4-not-working-with-some-chargers-or-why-you-need-two-cc-resistors/ Cheers.
