you could have one plex master server accessing multiple storage servers over SMB/NFS without much hassle, that allows combined libraries and more or less seamless access if the network and connection between servers is up to scratch as it would require reasonably high bandwidth, but multiple separate servers is a bit of a pain as you cant easily combine them and you would have to have split libraries AFAIK.

Unfortunately my goal with having it distributed is to lower bandwidth usage as have a low upload bandwidth.

That will unfortunately make any server-side improvements moot. You can scale up transcoding capabilities all you like, but the internet is made of Tubes.
Now if you could find some friends in telecom and have your server live at a peering point…
