First off, I'd like to say congratulations on setting up your own 
homeserver! It's quite honorable in my opinion to seek independence from 
service based web.

Given that you electricity costs are rather high, you might consider 
taking some power saving steps on your system. Seeing that you are 
running 4 full hard drives, I'd focus on that first: I'd recommend you 
look into the `hdparm` command, namely its' `-y`, `-M`, and `-S` flags.

Best regards,
Filip

Thank you! It's a small server but it's been a bit of a journey. I
learned a lot again :)

That makes sense, I should probably get around to that. I'm not sure how
Proxmox handles disks and if spin down is supported but I should take a
look nonetheless.
Sadly I can only apply this to 2 of the 4 HDDs since the other 2 are
passed through to TrueNAS Core which doesn't support spin down.

Thanks for the suggestions!
