Currently running as my backup NAS is the ODROID-HC4. It’s running Open Media Vault on Armbian. https://www.hardkernel.com/shop/odroid-hc4/

That looks pretty decent. I don't like the toaster form factor, but I'm sure I can just use SATA extensions and 3d print a good case for it.
OMV can run NFS, right?
Yup. Including smb and ftp
I'm also watching this as I'm in the same boat. I can't help I'm afraid but I imagine people might ask if you want to ever transcode to the other devices.
I probably won't need to transcode anything, I just want it to serve files as they are.

PoE = Power Over Ethernet
How much do you want to spend?
If you go for a Raspberry Pi have a look at Terrapi cases as well the obvious Argon ones.
Another option would be a Zimbaboard. It is more expensive but it has dual SATA connector (you need to buy a Y cable with the Zimbaboard) and there are 3D print designs to create a single unit, e.g. https://www.printables.com/model/224057-zimaboard-dual-hdd-stand.
I'm not sure about PoE and a NAS. Will a PoE HAT or similar provide enough power for the board and the drives?
I use a NanoPi M4 V2, which has a SATA hat accessory. It will support 4 HDDs and even power them if they are all 2.5" drives, or you can do what I did and use 4x 3.5" drives in a simple cheap cage and a separate 12V 8A power supply on the side to power the lot.
