That guide is quite useful. Is there an HTML version, or just the PDF?You might want to refer to my NAS guide: Building A Pi Based NAS.
Just the pdf (and the master .odt but I am not going to release that). Same as my other guides.
Hats off for the nod to sshfs at the beginning. For many small needs that might be enough.
I noticed the overview of RAID levels. Even though elsewhere in your guide ZFS is noted to be outside the scope of the guide, it might be useful to describe RAID-Z and RAID-Z2 in the overview.
For a tiny minority perhaps. But as I said zfs is out of scope for that guide. Not least because when I initially wrote it zfs required a kernel recompile or manual compilation of the necessary modules - not something for the inexperienced. BTRFS also provides RAID and snapshots and is pre-compiled but is also out of scope.
Samba and NFS are for LAN only and you do mention VPN access. Taking it to a different level, would a distributed system like Ceph + TLS be relevant for access over the Internet? It supports Linux, Windows, and MacOS clients.

Ceph end points can be hardened with TLS.
I've no idea about the suitability of ceph for access over the public internet. I've no experience of it and it is most definitely out of scope.
