According to your list you may need rather a „full blown“ NAS like QNap or 
Synology. Both have a lot of additional server applications for various 
purposes and desktop applications specially designed to support those NAS 
services not only for Windows, but almost entirely for MacOS and Linux as well. 
They are flexible and can presumably be adapted to changing needs. Personally, 
I've been using various Synology models for longer as a decade now at about the 
same purposes as you are planning (and some more, e.g. a mail hub, ebook 
library, etc), currently a DS 918+ with SSD cache. But keep in mind, it's based 
on Linux, but in the end it's a closed, proprietary system.  

This works well, but really only as far and as long as you want to do exactly 
what Synology applications are for and what the web interface architects 
envisioned - and that's pretty basic. As soon as this is no longer enough (and 
the chance is quite high after some time of use), it becomes very difficult and 
cumbersome. And too often is is impossible because Synology overwrites custom 
configurations with the defaults at every boot. I startet to migrate a lot of 
services to a Fedora Server (rsp. several servers using beside a traditional 
small server also affordable but powerful Single Board Computers). My Synology 
is increasingly becoming a plain backup storage (and an expensive "overkill" 
for that).

You should consider joining the Fedora Server mailing list. There you will find 
advice on how to set up and run a Fedora Home Server.
