I've had a Synology raid for a few years but I'm completely baffled by it. There seem to be three options for everything (Photo Station, Moments, Photos. Similar situation for video). Nothing ever seems to work and it's very slow. It's never clear exactly where you're supposed to put your files either. Constantly doing security updates isn't very reassuring either. I feel like I'm going to get hit with ransomeware all the time.
Synology Photos is what Moments has been rebranded too. It's fantastic and our whole household uses it.
Apart from that admitted indecision of product naming, I love my Synology. Synology MailPlus handles all my selfhosted mail without any fuss. Synology Drive handles file sync to the NAS but you can use whatever protocol you want.
The Docker support is really handy. I run more than 35 services on mine without it breaking a sweat. This is a DS-218+.

That's why you do them. To keep your system secure. I'm not really sure what would be more reassuring to you since security is an always-evolving landscape that requires mitigations quickly. It's not something you sit on.
