Why just not write detailed instructions how to do access your ZFS?
With ubiquitous howtos and even dark power of agentic AI I would not be too troubled about your progeny not being able to access your ZFS pool. I would rather have the best pictures printed out rather than stored on HDD. It it...
I would avoid super old drives such as these. From memory I recall that HDD are generally designed to last at least 7 years after 10 years disks are deemed more like risk for its intended purpose. Storing data. Now supposedly your guy had offered you disks that were sitting on shelf for 4/5...
Given rapidity of Helium level decline you should backup your data ASAP. Wait a while if it stays level but given how small He atoms are it is very unlikely that it will stay in same level especially if it is caused by leak not faulty sensor.
I have similar bay from Chieftec and first thing I did replace its noisy fan. Check mounting arrangement if your enclosure can actually take thicker fan if your fan is thinner than standard 25mm.
If regulators would have wanted to solve security issue all consumer router firmware would have mandated to be open source and ideally an OpenWRT and perhaps something else for enterprise hw.
I do not think that legislators are knowledgeable enough to know that you can flash alternative firmware to routing hw therefore rule that everything which not specifically forbidden is allowed.
Enjoy being in gray area as being in spectacle of idiotic lawmakers is not something you want.
Why don't you measure it from picture? The dimension of DIMM slot and CEM connector is known just get one of these onscreen rulers and with a bit of math you can make a reasonable estimate.
Piopartslap sells this ATX chassis together with rails and PSU if you do not mind questionable availability of Lenovo proprietary PSU and LFF disk caddy was unobtanium last time I researched this topic you might give this one a try.

Most motherboards do allow you to reduce TDP so if you are worried about dissipation of 170W TDP you could just remove Turbo or enable ECO mode.
If you have no need of 12 Hot swap bays you could get CSE-825 8hdd bays instead of 12 on 826
Other than that there is Inter-Tech and other resellers...
What will you boot via SAN. VMs? or Physical machines? You should really describe what you intend to do and or at least make a simple outline of your desired storage architecture.
Pretty sure that you can use iSCSI or NVME-oF on RHEL-clones. Another old and kinda forgotten is AoE.
I dabbled...
Had a look through seller offerings and given the range of his wares i would assume it is some sort of decommissioning sale.
Looks i was wrong see below.
Some data for comparison. My AMD HD 8350 was consuming ~4w idle when booted live SystemRescue apart from 92mm fan and 4x RAM sticks nothing else was consuming power.
Any data on power consumption?
Does this card prevent your server from going into deeper sleep states?
Since you have written that you have flashed the UEFI firmware onto NOR chip when it was desoldered i assume any buyer of this card would have to do the same?
I have been using raw partition passthrough to accomplish similar thing you want to do. In my case i am using btrfs + nfs. It had worked well for me so far.
virt-manager config example.
<disk type="block" device="disk">
<driver name="qemu" type="raw" cache="none"/>

The man is trying to run a game server and has spare computer already so i do not think he needs to buy old hardware and do i have serious doubts whether his game server could actually benefit from anemic old Xeons. Sure you can nitpick on my power hungry assessment and retrospect i should have...
