just fyi A few months later… failing to get Debian up and running a couple of times after this post, I decided to use stock firmware, manually managed drives (using ssh; stock firmware puts all drives in a raid1), nfs and gocryptfs (client side). It took a while to figure out how to avoid spin ups: manage drives manually…

bullseye provides vmlinuz-3.2.0-6-nas5xx and vmlinuz-6.1.82+nas5xx at /boot, and I got 6.6.32 from https://seafile.servator.de/nas/zyxel/kernel/. Since all of them end with nas5xx I assumed they are fine.
