🤔 Apple has shared why the power button on the Mac Mini M4 is hidden

🤏 It’s mainly because of the Mac Mini’s compact size

🤷‍♂️ But also because users apparently never use the power button on a Mac

👉 Apple also says the button can be accessed easily, even though it’s underneath

Then, you open it up and lead two wires to the rack front panel where your new accessible power button is mounted

Wouldn't you just pull the power cord at that point? If the device has become completely unmanageable such that it needs a power reset i'd be surprised if there's much more harm that way than holding down the power button until it turns off.
