Highly unlikely that you will ever be able to run 8.x on that NAS but my advice would be get a Pi4, stick piCorePlayer on it and set it up as server only LMS at 8.3.x and point it at the files on the NAS via CIFS/NFS. This will keep you going until it is time to replace the NAS. You can continue to use the file sharing ability of the Thecus as before.
