I'm using a NetApp ds4246 to hold 24 drives, and it's glorious - embrace the rack mount life. Although my computers themselves are all HP Prodesk minis, which are tiny and amazing, 1 u high and can fit two across on a shelf.

I've had good success using heroic for epic and gog games, but lutris gave me some trouble
You just need one it mode hba sas controller with an external out, and probably a conversion cable from 8088 to netapp's 8436.
You can daisy chain shelves if needed, and I think you can use a second sas card for active failover but I haven't tried it.
Yeah, I switched my gaming PC over to popOS and noticed no major issues - steam and heroic just worked as I expected.
