How good enough is the Coral Ai board at $129.99? [x]
It has quad Cortex-A53 and Cortex-M4F in NXP i.MX 8M packaged SoC.

I just want Plan 9front or 9legacy and the Go programming language running on it.

It is a bit more capable than the Coral board and is a favorite of the Armbian team. Cheaper and better availability too.
It still suffers from the trappings of running on the Cortex-A73 generation though. E.g., it has PCI-e/NVMe support and USB3 support, but you have to decide which one is usable because it doesn't have enough PCI-e lanes.

What I want is A77+ performance, also with a capable GPU, VPU, and NPU. It should sit more in the $250-400 range.
I just want that same level of support for something a few years newer and a good deal faster.
