If you don’t want to be called there to always it support it, go for off the shelf solution. Both qnap and Synology offer the same. When i looked half a year ago, i saw Synology as being more expensive at the time so went with ts464 qnap.
Qnap do provide a roadmap of support for older devices. So you have an idea how long they will remain supported for.

absolutely. turnkey retail product is the answer here.
OR, a normal windows-based (so they know how to navigate it) desktop with one or more internal drives added. set up the shares, done. i'd add stablebit drive pool and maybe cloud drive to it for pooling, redundancy, and encrypted online drives to hold a copy). no weird hardware setups, no 'foreign' ui, no raid arrays to babysit....
