There are a mess of Kaypro experts on this list, as I
found out when
I was getting my 4/84 up and running.

Certainly a good choice and fairly common.
Two comments, it's far from the smallest or fastest. But like I said
there are LOTs of machines with 8080,8085 or z80 than ran CPM. I'd
suggest most any with the following:
Z80/Z180 cpu (greatest software following)
Softsector floppy based on a standard chip (179x or 765)
at least 48k of ram (64k or more is better)
Hard disk is nice but not required.
The last of machine that fill that bill is HUGE.
Oh, the largest ones were the OSI and the smallest were AmproLB based
bookshelf systems.
