suggestion: 2-4 bay NAS for home backups, media server and some tinkering

My main use cases are: 1) network storage of personal/media files, that doubles down as a media server for a smart tv/speakers; 2) torrent client; 3) run some containers in the future (cannot now)
I want something x86 based that I can run some containers on, which I cant do now. A nice-to-have would be some sort of dual-boot mechanism so I could install TrueNAS or something and tinker on my own time - but not sure if this even exists. 2.5GBe is nice to have, 10Gbe not needed.
I'm overall happy with Syn but the walled gardenĀ  ragdoll archers + dated hardware on current models + your comments about their move to proprietary hardware and enterprise put me off quite a bit. On the other hand, I do love their stability, ease of use, feature completeness (not that I use a lot of it). From my own research, I am pending towards the QNAP TS-464 but wanted to hear your thoughts. TY for the advice!!!!

Keeping the highest remaining blood bar is the player's objective in order to keep their stickman
