Have you considered FreeNAS? You can buy pre-built appliances or build your own. I did the latter and I do everything on your list apart from cloud backup to backblaze and I run Emby instead of plex (but plex is supported natively). You can definitely do cloud backup - I just don’t. I also use it as a time-machine server for my macs. I exclusively use UniFi network gear in my house and I find my NAS to be as bullet proof as that.
You could build a far more powerful NAS yourself than you can buy from Synology or the like but I appreciate that not everyone has the time or interest.

There was a day when that appealed to me... now I just want to turn it on and be done. The point is still worth considering. I can stomach some NRE in setup as long as it is powerful, gets the job done and doesn’t require on going hassle
