By "NUC" I was meaning the low-end Celeron boxes. A NUC with a i7-8650U should work for Tor and a dedicated AP. It won't be as good as a desktop or server CPU, but for your use case it's fine as a relay and AP/router.
However, the built-in Wi-Fi is usually only a single band at once.

About the server, I have a powerful HPE ProLiant as mentioned earlier, but like other said at minimum you need a i5/i7 CPU, or an equivalent Xeon or AMD CPU. So this means no NUCs or HPE MicroServers.
Hm, why not NUCs? There are NUCs with 8th Generation Intel CPUs:

For example, this one uses i7-8650U Processor:

Based on what I read in all the replies (thank you all!) this should be more than enough?
I was thinking of not really using a dedicated router, but hopefully configure NUC's WiFi into an AP. This is all I really need. I just hope I can configure it as a dual-band AP. I am not yet clear about that part.
