There's no one right way to do this. For me, I focused on isolation and containment. So I used LXCs for everything with Plex as the only Privileged container. All other *arrs remained unprivileged. My data resides on a NAS elsewhere in my network so I had to set up SMB sharing to all the LXCs and as you'll find out, that becomes less than intuitive. I wrote a guide here that details how I configured everything.
K3s is great, I use it on all of my personal clusters (here and here). It's lightweight and very easy to manage.

An "advert" for a BSD-licensed open-source codebase? Pointers to a comparable OSS networking project, implemented in memory-safe golang or rust, would be appreciated. There is https://router7.org, but for a narrow use case.
I recommend Dockstarter if you're not that familiar with docker yet. It helps setting up everything and there's documentation available for every app.
