For the NAS use case I'd not bother with NVMe for the shared data.
The performance limit will be set by the network speed and that's at best aprox one fifth of the speed of the PCIe v2 lane. Less if using WiFi.
Any gains in latency and/or seek time over USB SSD/HDD will be hidden from clients by network latency and the Linux disc cache.
You also get more TB per $ with a traditional HDD.
