Yes, Synology J series can usually handle a single task at a time. People only use it for backups or simple file storage. Running things like Plex do require more RAM.
DS220+ is a massive improvement. It has more functionality and future-proofing. You can add more RAM and use its transcoding engine. DS720+ has two additional cores and nvme caching. This allows more people to access the media simultaneously.
The old NAS can be sold on ebay. Or you could gif it to a friend and maybe use it as an offsite backup.
I hope this helps.
