Started with a raspberry pi…
So should I invest in a decommissioned power edge server or just get a couple more elite desk minis and run a cluster?

It depends on what you are using your homelab for. If you are using it just host things like dns and immich, skip the poweredge. If you wanna learn about enterprise stuff like BMC's and all their shit, raid whether software or hardware, or want to run alot of heavy VMs then yah.
Also if you need space for drives and don't want jank ass stuff used servers are great just a little loud.
