Have you thought about trying this with a RPI 4B? Thinking about replacing my 3b+ providing two SMB shares with such a setup, once 4b has matured a little.
Well I don't have any reason to replace the 3b+ now (I just set it up earlier this year), besides faster file transfer on the 4, and I'm disinclined to upgrade something I just built.
Unless the 4 can handle video transcoding I don't see what the benefit of it would be. If it has increased energy use it might even be a worse choice!
