Given your experience with coil whine on the DS923 plus, a move to the Intel based models is a very good idea. In your situation the Synology DS425 plus would be an excellent fit. It is quiet, efficient, has a long support window, and works perfectly with SATA SSDs for an all flash setup. It also avoids the Ryzen platform that seems to be linked to coil noise reports on a small number of DS923 plus units.
The DS425 plus has more than enough power for 1080p Plex, smooth file access, and daily use over WiFi. With your 4 x 2TB SSDs it will run cool and silent, and QuickConnect setup is as simple as what you had before.
