Personally, I have converted my two printers from marlin to klipper. I've used MainsailOS installed on a raspberry pi.
Had to get a second pi to run the second one on due to my crownest install not being able to set a camera to each printer (for the mobileraker app output that is). In the web interface I could set my cameras to each printer respectfully, even though the output of both came from one install location (one klipper instance supplied both cameras)
But the pi3b+ can handle that if you need it to, but there is a bit of extra configuration needed to set file paths right. (I would recommend a fan on the pi so it doesn't constantly say your at risk of overheat, mine was constantly around 60C, but added a fan and get solid 40C)
But for my Ender 3v2, the conversion was super easy. Loading through an SD card is so simple. But my Sidewinder X2, was more of a challenge (due to having to open the case up and use a jumper to put the board into DFU mode).
But the choice was a no-brainer for my sidewinder, since I had to compile my own firmware to open up some options that weren't on by default. And it is a pain to recompile marlin every time you forget to adjust one firmware option.
Klipper is so much easier on changing a firmware setting. Alter a text file, restart the service, and it's changed.
