It definitely is, especially if you get a cluster going. FWIW, my media is all on a synology NAS (well technically two, but one is a backup) that I got used through work, so your setup isn't the wrong approach (imo) by any stretch.
What it comes down to in the connection is how you look at it - with a VM, its a full fledged system, all by its lonesome, that just happens to live inside another computer. A container though is an extension of that host, so think of it less like a VM and more like resource sharing, and you'll start to see where the different approaches have different advantages.
For example, I have transcode nodes running on my proxmox cluster. If I had JF as a VM, I'd need another GPU to do that - but since its a container for both JF and my transcode node, they get to share that resource happily. Whats the right answer is always going to depend on individual needs though.
And glad I could be of some help!
