TrueNAS Build Suggestion Using Existing DDR4

I have been in the process of migrating from Synology (RS1221+) to TrueNAS. Due to the current ridiculous ram prices, I decided to make use of an older server I have on hand. It is the following:

Asrock C236M-WS motherboard (matx)

E3-1285 V6 cpu

64 GB DDR4 2666 ECC ram (unregistered)

Fractal Node 804 case

I will be running (6) 4TB hard drives with a couple SSDs and a X550-T2 for 10g network.

I will be running several apps (Immich for one) as well as containers to run Proxmox Backup Server and Proxmox Datacenter Manager.

This setup does ok but what would be a more modern setup if I utilized my existing DDR4?
I know there are AMD Ryzen options that can utilize the ECC ram but I don’t need to go too crazy. Ideally DDR5 comes down in price (who knows how long) but it would be nice to make use of the DDR4.

I really appreciate any input on this or suggestions.
