I teach and have a one man saas business. I store similar data to yourself plus my business backups using rsync. I do this to an encrypted hard drive connected to a raspberry pi in my shed over wifi. The pi disk then gets backed up to Google drive. I think I pay £15 per annum for 100Gb Google drive.
Ditching mp3s halved my backups. I'm not sure why you would store mp3s these days now unless you were making the music yourself?
I imagine the Google drive story will change in the future but for now it's fine.
I"m also a few months into syncthing and really getting value out of it. As in, there is my personal archive then there are docs I want to have a Dropbox experience with. Syncthing is great. I am replicating important docs between a few machines. When I get around to it they will be sent to the pi as well.

How else do you ensure that you have access to your favorite artists in the future? I’m assuming here that popular music streaming platforms would not be around in 10 years (others will take over). Also, storing your music in the cloud requires you having internet connection to play your music... imho that’s a disadvantage compared to storing your music locally.
