I have a similar set up; Intel n100 but in an Aoostar R1 so allows for 2 x 3.5HDDs and dual ethernet ports. The n100 has brilliant performance for the price and power draw, so I’d recommend that to OP.

Currently have a setup similar to yours, except the chip is N100 (12th gen inter, 3 e-cores) and 16 gigs of ram. Running Jellyfin with hardware accelerated transcoding into VP9 and HEVC just fine. Nextcloud is ok too, kinda slow but I think that’s because of my networking. It’s one of the cheapest pre made n100 mini PCs I could find on Amazon.
Just make sure that you have enough IO for your needs. Mine has only three usb ports, I plugged in two usb hard drives and a Zigbee dongle and now I’m out of ports. Gonna have to get a hub now.

I have an i5 9500 and for what its worth Nextcloud always seems to be the least responsive web app I’ve used. I think it’s just the nature of Nextcloud.
