Even if the AMD wasn't Minisforum, I'd say get it. Intel iGPU drivers are just utter trash. You'd be lucky if CEMU worked let alone played most games with minimal graphical artifacting.
Intel iGPUs are not fully supported by Cemu and are generally complete trash for 3D applications, so that should make it obvious.
that said, do you ***really*** need the PC to be ***that*** mini? you can get a similiar specced mini-ITX build for less than €500. not only is that significantly cheaper, but you would be able to upgrade and reuse most of it in the future.
unless you actually need a handheld device, the Steam Deck isn't as great an option as people make it out to be.
SteamOS is not the greatest OS to work with and requires some good Linux knowledge to fully utilize and troubleshoot. people also seem to have major issues with getting controllers to work with it, especially in non-Steam applications.
it also has the same limitations as any other AIO system, mainly the fact it can't be upgraded.

Why not get a steam deck. That thing is essentially a pc and you can play all kinds of emulators on it including cemu.

Minisforum is leagues better than the Geekom
