The mini's Jellyfin instance also watches the downloads so I can stream things to my phone or TV as soon as they've downloaded.

I second this, but it does require a Windows Pro license. An alternative software-based solution is - https://stablebit.com/. Source: about 1 year ago
You can use TrueNAS for a proper NAS system, or unraid if you just care about a media server with tons of storage (unraid lets you pool varying drive sizes together). I've also been looking at this software to pool drives in a windows environment: https://stablebit.com/. Source: over 1 year ago

Screw Raid. Raid isn't a backup. If you want the best option for plex, its drivepool. (or mergefs for linux I guessss if you're desperate for some reason....its just not nearly as pretty and packaged). Source: over 1 year ago

I personally use products like stablebit.com I dont know if synology has similar items, I am sure with scripts you can do something similar. Those products allow me to put policies on the folders (so 1_active might have 3x local copies, 1x google, 2_recently active might be 1xlocal,1xbackblaze,1xgoogle , 1x azure.. Etc ).
