Afaik Synology supports Btrfs which I honestly prefer at this point if you don’t need filesystem based encryption or professionall scaling and caching features.
I agree, NFS is eazy peazy, livin greazy.
I have an old ds211j synology for backup. I just can’t bring myself to replace it, it still works. However, it doesn’t support zfs. I wish I could get another Linux running on this thing.
However, NFS does work on it and is so simple and easy to lock down, it works in a ton of corner cases like mine.

The ds211j is on synology DSM 6, which is ancient. I’ll look again, but I don’t think it supports btrfs.

The lower end Synology NAS (like my DS420j) don’t support btrfs. They only support ext4, I think.

NFS is easy as long as you use very basic access control. When you want NFSv4 with Kerberos auth you’re entering a world of pain and tears.

I don’t use access control, I lock down with networking and filters.
