I have some questions about selfhosting (kbin.earth)

Hello, i want to get into the self hosting game and have some questions about it. I hope that this community may help me (i already learnt so much by reading posts in this community).

I want to self host an NAS and some home server applications like Immich, Homeassistant, Jellyfin and parts of the *Arr stack. Would it be advisable to get a mini-PC and a separate NAS or can i put this on the same appliance together? Was thinking about getting a NAS from Terramaster and i am not sure if i need a separate mini PC.
If i would go with the all in one solution, would TrueNAS Scale be enough? I saw some recommendations to get Promox and run TrueNAS Scale for the NAS management and Promox container for everything else.
If i would go with the separate solutions how would i handle seeding? Since the mini-PC would run the *Arr Suite with qBittorrent would it be able to download directly to the NAS and hardlink the stuff there or would seeding require two copies, one on the mini-pc and another one on the NAS?

I hope my problems are clear, i tried searching for it but did not find a satisfying answer, which is why i am asking here. Thanks in advance

It really depends on your use case. I've gone through 9tb of data in a month. And often have up to a dozen BR quality movie requests at once. 35-65gb each, on average. If you're only doing one movie at a time and only doing torrent quality, you shouldn't have any issues.
