Your storage setup plan for the QNAP 653D looks quite solid. The allocation of the 2 x 4TB HDDs for general data, shared folders, and surveillance, along with dedicating the 1TB SSD for VMs and the 500GB SSD for QTS OS, seems well thought out. Creating an image of the old Windows XP PC and copying it to the NAS for access via a VM is a practical approach, especially for accessing Autocad drawings.
Your decision not to implement RAID for specific use cases is reasonable, considering your backup strategy. The regular backups for critical data, including separate external HDDs, provide an additional layer of security.
