I already own the Eminent EM7680 which has a AMLogic S905X-H SoC (based on 4 Cortex-A53 cores, and a Mali 450 MP3 GPU) running on CoreElec. It should be able to support 4k 60 Hz, BD-ISO, DVD-ISO, h.265, HEVC, VP9, HDR, HDR-10, Dolby True HD, Dolby Atmos, DTS-HD and DTS-HD MA.

and I have a Minix Neo U9-H which has an 8 core AMLogic based on the same Cortex-A53 and a Mali 820 MP3 GPU. It is running Android right now, as I want to be able to use Netflix and some other tv apps.

Do they suffice for 4k HDR with the correct Max CLL/FALL?

Not until we are using a Linux 5.3+ Kernel and a stable Kodi v10 Matrix release, late next year I suspect.

If using a OLED, the closer your display's brightness is to a Sony BVM-X300 OLED mastering monitor, that hits 1000nits - the more accurate your HDR10 Movies & TV series - picture output will be to the creators intent.

Panasonic and LG are producing pretty decent OLED's these days.
I'm sure you have seen THIS Shootout (click)

There is a bunch of great info about that BVM-X300 and the visible advantages of HDR in general in THIS article.
