Apple is making its recently-released iMacs more easily upgradeable, with retailer OWC confirming the base specification 27-inch 5K iMac can be fitted with up to 64GB of RAM, while an iFixit teardown reveals both the memory and the processor used in the 21.5-inch 4K iMac can be removed and replaced.
[...] an upgradeable iMac is a big shift in direction from Apple. The last 21.5-inch iMac with expandable memory was the 2013 model, while the last to include a modular CPU came in 2012.

For recording, you're right.
Read again: mixing and mastering.
Not the same thing. If you're packing an all-in-one machine in so many pillows that you can't hear the roaring fans while rendering, you won't be able to see the monitors, you won't be able to hear the speakers (assuming you don't have separate monitors, which on the road you very well might not) and you'll have thermal overload before you can say "Jack Robinson".
For electronic musicians, this is a showstopper. They might as well go back to repeated offline renders and iterative tweaking.
