Thank god I built my NAS in early October it seems like I got the proverbial last train out of town.

Same here, though I did it a bit earlier. Data center SSD's I bought a while back for 50 euros each from Ebay now sell for over 200 euros. Similar increase for HDD's too.

Maybe in 3-5 years there will be a fantastic time to upgrade again, after AI bubble has burst and slightly used stuff gets dumped from data centers to online marketplaces.

Same. Wish I bought 2x 12TB drives now rather than 2x8TB.

I bought 3x22TB WD Red Pros to put into a RaidZ1 vdev so I'll be good for a while. I have a clear upgrade path all the way up to 8 drives with 2x vdevs in a pool but that is something for far future me to consider.
