Thanks for your replies. I learned a lot from them. I probably end up
using multiple larger but manageable partitions until I learn enough
about ZFS or another alternative. At least I know what issues I
currently have. Maybe a manual fsck would be appropriate to see if
checking the disks is possible in a reasonable time.

Richard, we envy you. Or better said I should spend some money on
decent hardware instead of using old stuff all the time.

I know that's probably a lot of drives for the standard power supply the
"desktop" computer has. It's certainly a point of failure that my UPS
won't take care of.
