I think as a turn-key solution, the prebuilt enclosures are fine. I have a two-bay Synology that works well. If you've already got components though, DIY is probably going to give you a lot more granular control. I'm planning on building out a home server rack including a TrueNAS VM or something similar.
+1 for running TrueNAS in a VM, I’ve got one running in Proxmox. Make sure to enable hardware passthrough so TrueNAS has direct access to your drives!
