Yes, you can definitely go that route—using a smaller NVMe just for the bootloader/OS makes total sense, especially to free up your full-capacity 4TB drives for the RAID array.
That said, just a heads-up: some folks have run into issues getting the NVMe drive to show up properly during the TOS install process. It doesn’t always behave as expected right out of the gate. That said, it can work—you’re in a great spot to experiment since you’ve got a clean slate and no data yet.
If you give it a try and run into visibility issues, sometimes tweaking BIOS settings or trying a different NVMe model can help. Worth playing around with if you're up for a bit of tinkering.
Appreciate the kind words too—really glad the videos have been useful!
