100% get a mini PC. That way you are not tied down by the OS provided by the NAS manufacturer. Prime example: HDR tone mapping hasn't worked on Synology NASes for the last several Jellyfin releases. Not because the hardware doesn't support it. But because Intel's OpenCL driver deprecated support for Linux kernel 4.4.x, which we bundle with our docker image. You know what NAS OS still uses Linux kernel 4.4.x, first released in 2016? Synology DSM.
The Intel N100 is surprisingly capable considering their tiny power usage. I highly recommend getting a mini PC with the N100. Let the NAS just be a NAS.
