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.
