I've noticed there aren't a lot of reasonable home/sb m.2 NVME NAS options for main boards and enclosures.

SATA SSD still seems like the way you have to go for a 5 to 8 drive system (boot disk + 4+ raid6).

How well does buying PCIe to M.2 adapters work for a custom NAS? Slot-wise you should be able to get 16 M.2 devices per motherboard with for example a Supermicro consumer board.

Can you point to a specific motherboard? 16 separate PCIe links of any width sounds rather high for a consumer platform.

That's a workstation board, not a regular consumer board, and it is over 5 years old by now - it has even been discontinued by Supermicro.

Buiding a new system with that in 2025 would be a bit silly.
