DS1522+ is very innovative. But there is one issue and it is accessing 4k remotely. This NAS can not handle it. But you can download videos to a remote location and stream them. Or you can use the offline transcoding feature and keep a small video copy of all 4k videos to stream remotely. Local streaming has no issues even with 4k files.
Setting up RAID6/SHR2 would give you speeds around 400MB/s. If you get a cheap 10gbe switch with a couple of ports, you could connect it to your existing router. Whichever device connects to this switch will get 10gbe bandwidth between these devices. You can also avoid the switch and connect NAS directly via 10gbe while it is also connected to a 1GbE LAN.
When filling up bays, you can start with just 2 drives. It is easy to add more drives without a need to reset the system. Maybe consider having a remote drive or two (doesn't need a RAID) for syncing/backups. In case of fire/flood/burglars.
I hope this helps.
