Yes, Synology are moving away from media and focus on business use only.
Qnap would be a great alternative, but they do not seem to introduce same functions as Synology, like btrfs and SHR.
Asustor and Terramaster do offer BTRFS. Their software is not the best, but there is no other options for you. You will need to compromise somewhere.
With HDD lists, you can ignore compatibility with plus series models.
I would go for ds923+ and figure out something with transcoding - if that's something i actually need for local streaming and 1080p.
