It’s not like Plex doesn’t work, I have a similar model and it works fine. I even share access with friends. If the end device can handle h265 and you don’t need to transcode anything, it works fine. Just be sure the end device can run at the original resolution too.
Most of my screens are 4k or 2k. I have a lot of 1080p content and some 4k content. The issue only may arise if it is down scaling a 4k video to a lower resolution right?
It’s a personal server. I’m not planning to share it with anyone. So it seems like I’m good to go with the DS923+. The 920 that the guy is suggesting is still around a grand USD… Black friday sale has the 923 around 400.

Yes. I do keep my 4k content separate. I don’t keep a lot of 4k, it’s mostly all 1080p.
