It depends what you want to do with it.
It will run on the older power supply intended for the Pi4...but you won't be able to use USB peripherals that draw a higher current and the link that you cite isn't much less...so it might work.
I don't think that "underclocking" will help much in reducing power consumption as ARM cores are designed to be low-power when idle anyway and will throttle automatically. While lower clock frequency (and perhaps lower core voltage) does reduce power consumption, a core normally clocked will run faster, so it spends less time in active state and more time in sleep. I think it would depend on what you are using it for......
here is a thread that talks about underclocking
