Yes, this sounds like a plan.
Backing up NAS to the cloud such as Backblaze might be expensive compared to DAS box backups. People use Linux virtual machines on a NAS to get around this. But it is not as straightforward. You could use DS1522+ for everything. Video editing, time machine backups and automated cloud backups. Speeds will be limited to 700MB/s, but this is all you need for 4k editing and backups. Otherwise, Thunderbolt external drives will give you faster performance.
You do not need to fill all bays at the start. Do it gradually. This tool might help https://nascompares.com/answer/hdd-price-per-tb/
SHR1 is all you need.
I hope this helps.
