Reduced complexity? Speed? Depending on the network protocol used, real time monitoring can't be enabled due to lack of inotify (not supported by SMB). But if you have Windows clients you need SMB.
The only reason to have separate storage is if you have a lot of servers that need the shared storage that you can centrally manage. If you only have one server and don't intend to change that, just keep storage local.
If you have the budget, just custom build a PC in a case with enough HDD bays for your needs.
