A Celeron J4125 will choke if you try to use ZFS along with heavier services like Immich and Jellyfin.
Something like a i7-6700 or a i5-8500 would be a better choice

I’m doing everything you list and quite a bit more on a QNAP with a Celeron J4125. A fraction of the cpu performance you’ll have, yet very capable of all the tasks I ask of it. 16gb of memory is a good starting point I think.
What does your build come out at?

I wasn’t advocating to get a J4125 in 2025, I was sharing my experience with it. I can’t confirm it choking with Jellyfin.

Prices fluctuate but last I checked it was around 1600€. Also, after posting this thread I re-checked the CPU and noticed that isn’t even available in my region anymore apparently, so I’ll have to find a suitable replacement there anyways.

For ZFS Proxmox recomends 2 GiB Base + 1 GiB/TiB-Storage
16Gb is good for 14Tb of storage or less following that rule
