As others have commented, stick with the Mac.
I recommend installing proxmox on it and run the apps you want. You can run pihole in a VM.
Do you need a NAS? Not really, but if you have cash available maybe get a used tower, use the disks you have and install TrueNAS. And this will only cost you max €200

One of the nice things about ProxMox is that you can also set up a cluster. When OP outgrows it, they can just add a new machine to the cluster and just migrate some VMs over to it.
