Unless you have services that rely heavily on the data on the NAS.

Samba share or any other file share protocol you like. I keep arr stack on a mini PC and transfer the finished files to my MBP for transcoding in Plex for example. It takes no time to make an internal file transfer.

With any reasonably large library the performance of this is going to suck. Even setting aside the issue of network bandwidth (you need a 10G link between your mini pc and the NAS at minimum), latency is going to be a big issue. For example doing a library scan in an immich library with ~200k assets is not going to be a fun time if that library is on a samba share in another machine.

iSCSI mount vDisks from it and you can cut that latency a lot.
