For a NAS use case, I'd be more inclined to use one of the PCIe to 4 SATA adapters and use SATA drives (whether spinning or solid-state). Each drive has lower performance than NVMe, but you get redundancy and still a reasonable speed connection.

Looks like he got near 100 MB/sec writing (and higher read) on Samba from it (capable of saturating 1 Gbps network) in testing and almost saturating a 2.5Gbps link with another adapter: https://github.com/geerlingguy/raspberry-pi-pcie-devices/issues/615 https://github.com/geerlingguy/raspberry-pi-pcie-devices/iss... (He's got several other blogs and YouTube videos in/around RPi topics.)
