Yes. In theory.
But in practise, this is the one great unsolved mystery of Linux.
And maybe self hosting has a similar one.

That’s precisely correct.
A fun little soldering project. I have built 2 of these:
A small ESP (16 is enough, no need for 32) to run Tasmota. Now you have WiFi and MQTT for free, to connect to your HA.
From the ESP you define one PWM output pin that controls a simple MOSFET dimmer circuit (google for the schematic, 4 resistors or so), that feeds your LED.
That’s what you get when you let go hundreds of employees
OK but then… what happens when their boss jerk fires hundreds of thousands?
I considered nextcloud chore so far, but it is not reliably maintained.
Try nextcloud deck then. Less features, but for me it’s enough.

First thing I do when I get a smart appliance is scan it with nmap.
A wonderful habit. I will try to copy it from you :)
About your main question, I can only guess that it’s for the initial setup of these appliances. Initially, they know nothing about your Wifi situation. So maybe they open up their own Wifi and connect their app so that you can enter some info. Afterwards, maybe some services continue to run there…
Ahh… excuses ;-)
Not close at all.
OK, I got some missing bells and whistles in my current setup, which is just a poor man’s NAS made of ZFS and samba, plus a nextcloud for convenience.
But I fell so much in love with ZFS that I would never replace it with unraid. For my next box I am looking forward to use TrueNAS instead.
If the (theoretical) burglar finds a gun safe and it is even locked properly, I would think it looks quite attractive :)
My current server is a normal tower PC on the outside, but it is placed in a remote and inaccessible part of my rooms.
My next one (work in progress) will be placed in a corner of the living room (because the cable from the satellite dish is there). It will not look like a computer. Just a white square box with a table top on it. And it will not make any noise (hopefully).

Congrats to running Linux on your desktop
better hardware
That’s what usually kept me from doing it, because it sucks up too much power while idling around most of the day.
You have that new machine to play with. So do it.
Install it and play around. If you do nothing that should “last forever” in these first days, you can tear it down and do it again in different ways.
I have recently played in the same way with the proxmox unattended install feature, and it was a lot fun. One text file and a bootable image on a stick.
With all these different disk sizes, maybe “Unraid” is for you? I don’t really know it, just guessing.
Wow, nice. Almost exactly what I am currently tinkering at.
Additionally, I doubled all the outer walls and put a little damping rubber in between, so that the wood itself stays at peace.
Mine is not complete yet, so I don’t know how good it really will be.
I understand that your bottom is open for air everywhere?
This seems too much IMHO. I would close large areas maybe simply with duct tape so you can change/improve it later. The air should enter right where it is needed: directly under the HDDs, and right next to that big blue block (GPU?), and maybe right under the PSU if it is located close to the bottom, too.
If you don’t restrict the air flow a little, then all the air will take only the easiest way, that is through the open space, and not between the hot devices.
Here’s how you can avoid it :)

Yes, it works. I did it.
but I would 100% verify that for your operating system of choice (which I presume is Linux), your AMD CPU can deliver hardware transcoding under Plex
How and where can this be verified? (for a not-yet-user of such a feature)
I had intended to try it out, but now uninstalled for… just in case.
Some kind guru please watch the source for unwanted effects.
