Although I haven't had a lengthy experience with running a TOR relay, I will definitely attest to the fact that even the cheapest $5 VPS with low specs and a good distro on board, you can easily operate a relay. As for operating one at home, don't operate an exit like Olaf said and you'll be okay. Just ensure your node meets the requirements set forth on this page. https://community.torproject.org/relay/relays-requirements/

Hello Amadeus!
When you talk about a RasPi, I assume you mean a home location.
Please read the recommendations. Never operate an Exit Relay at home!
It will be expensive if the wrong people knock on the door.
By the way, for an Exit Relay the bandwidth should already be 10MBit/s
or better.

hey,
partly related to original question:
I'm planning to set up a new exit. My very first relay. I'm
planning to use a small SoC with 2GB ram. Something running on ARM like a raspberry pi.
Is this feasible or even a good idea?

I have several 1 G RAM exits running unbound without a problem.
They never seem to hit swap, either. On FreeBSD:
last pid: 83973; load averages: 0.86, 0.71, 0.62 up 130+15:44:28

Go for it,
