I am to give a perspective that may go along with the OP.
I spent this last summer building up a Proxmox server and putting Plex on it, and a few VMs for things I thought I would need. I also just noticed my Synology DS1515+ is not getting new version of DSM, so it's probably getting close to needing to be retired.
six months later, this is my new plan.
Retire the Synology DS1515+
Replace my main windows box that is 9 years old with something current.
Take a couple of drives out of the Synology and move them into the Windows Box, and do a simple dynamic mirror
Put Plex server on Windows
let run 24x7
There are two people in my house, no reason not to let it run 24x7 hosting everything I need. There is a fear of power usage, but, I will monitor that to see if I need to spin up a low power server.
But, I really do not need to separate it out across multiple versions of linus.
