Interesting find.
When you already have a dead Plus/4 or C16 it could be cheaper to build a Pi base equivalent, than buy new TED + new 8501 + PSU :-)
(but kKeyrah is expensive, as far as I remember)
I was not aware that Keyrah is prepared to accept Plus/4 keys (but I think a connector is missing from the board to really work).
Some thoughs:
I did not know, that the Pi3 is so fast. It should fall behind any C2D processor in raw power.
There is a step by step installation guie, and in fact exactly the same VICE should be used as for C64, just emulating a different machine.
And it seems Pi3 has no problem to properly run a C64 emulation:

Maybe due to background windows processes, but by C2D E4400 sometimes has issues in YAPE full window screen to cacth up with 100% Plus/4 emulation. Maybe it is just me, but PIs for me seemed to be little lacking in raw power. Maybe I was just wrong.
VICE is far behind those YAPE and Plus/4, but should work.
Actually I tested few weeks ago VICE, and to my surprise, even some smaller demos run (with almost OKish sound)
