I'd thought about upgrading our internet network for 2.5Gbps. My wife uses our NAS storage for all her documents and video work. It works for her as she's got a couple of workstations and a laptop so she can pull up anything on any of the PCs.
After looking at the cost for a new NAS and the other hardware and switches, it didn't seem worthwhile. Even doing video editing and exporting from the NAS, I wasn't convinced it would make a significant change. Exporting is the most intensive and depends on the CPU, GPU and lots of RAM. Moving the data to the NAS is nothing.

My Synology NAS has 1-Gigabit Ethernet ports and I believe there's a way to configure two of them for port aggregation (teaming) but I'm not sure how w/o researching. Those ports would have to feed into a 2.5 Gbs switch that can aggregate those inputs and support 2.5 Gbs on another free port. This could solve the NAS bottleneck but then my Macs are all limited to 1-Gbs anyway. There are inexpensive USB-C to 2.5 Gbs Ethernet adapters but I have no idea how well those work. I've decided that it's not worth the effort for my needs but it could be something fun for you try and report back ;-)
If I had 2.5Gbps ports on my QNAP boxes, I'd think about it. It seems that all the new QNAP boxes do include 2.5Gbps ports, but buying another 8 drive box doesn't seem worth the whole cost of all the hardware needed.
