Yes, it makes perfect sense! For your requirements, I would recommend the Synology DS920+. It has 4 bays, which will allow you to expand your storage as your media library grows. It also has a powerful Intel Celeron J4125 quad-core processor and 4GB of RAM (expandable up to 8GB) which will provide the necessary power to transcode your 4K HDR media for the Nvidia Shield TV and also stream your 1080p content to your Firesticks without any issues.
Additionally, the DS920+ is compatible with both H.264 and HEVC video codecs, and it supports the Plex Media Server app, so you can easily install and configure it to serve your media library to your devices over your home network.
The DS920+ also has the ability to run other applications and services such as file sharing, backup, and surveillance station, which makes it a versatile and powerful NAS for home users. As for reusing your current 2TB drives, you can install them in the DS920+ and set them up in RAID configuration for additional data protection and storage efficiency.
If you think you may need to stream 4k videos outside the home, you will need i5 based NAS like ts-674. This NAS also support PCIe GPU card upgrade.
I hope this helps.
