Yes, but then I'd have to find or make an enclosure that fits the board

An enclosure is purely cosmetic. I attached my Pi5 to a piece of
cardboard with zip-ties and hung it down the back of my desk.

I have this apparently obsolete idea that a CPU should have a heatsink
and a fan (even if it might never need to turn on), and naked PCB
assemblies scare the wife (and her cleaning lady). And the wiring closet
(the 10 inches under the bottom shelf in a hallway closet) where my
router, wiring panel and root switch live) is a dark and tangled place
where mice may occasionally crawl up from under the house.

My Pi4 and Pi5 both have heatsinks and fans.  The Pi5 also has a PCI/M.2 "HAT"
with a SSD.  It is probably a good thing that your wife & cleaning lady give
the Pi a wide berth.  Somehow I don't think cleaning fluids would be good for
it.
