A reasonable NAS these days is ~£400, with disk.

A Netflix subscription is £17. Pays for itself in two years if you have no other services

The VPN cost to keep from getting sued should be included in that price.

Is that even a risk?

Maybe. A more significant risk is being hassled or throttled by an ISP if (and essentially only if) you're doing (not necessarily illegal[1]) P2P file transfers on their network.

At least given the lack of alternative ISP options in my area, I'd rather pay Mullvad €5/month than assume this risk.
