Yes, Qnap 72 / 74 and also 88 series models are their best NASes. The new generation i3 core competes with i5/i7 older gen.
If you connect everything via 2.5GbE, you will not experience the full performance these models can achieve. Maybe for this reason you don't need nvme. Most people use them for storage not caching. Installing OS and apps feel smoother.
QTS hero would be a better choice if you run VMs commercially. For home use, this is not very beneficial. Upgrading ZTS requires data wiping. Also, it consumes more RAM and CPU resources, so you have less power left for VMs. QTS is OK.
With 4K streaming locally, you can practically use any NAS. Remote streaming would require 73A series with a dedicated GPU card though.
I hope this helps.
