For general use they are good.
I would be wary of used. I would imagine because the 2018 model just came out that the vast majority of the used ones are the 2014 model or earlier. Which means you are paying for 5 year old+ hardware.
If you are not married to Mac OS, you can get an 8th generation Intel NUC and add ram/hard drive. Specs will be similar to the 2018 mini but you will save some cash.
But if you want Mac OS, then the mini is the cheapest route to go.
