Only few types of subtitles require transcoding.
"External subtitles like VOBSUB, PGS, SSAs, and SRTs are accepted by some Plex apps and Plex client, but not all. In most cases, they will need to be transcoded by Plex Media Server for Plex/Web and Plex iOS via "burn subtitles into video"

With that in mind, you can get ds918+/ DS920+ or other Celeron based or even Ryzen based model for local use.
I hope this helps.
