Are these Western Digital HSRM drives Enterprise Grade? How is the performance and reliability on this one? Will they be good for RAID storage using TrueNAS?

They are host-managed, which means you need to do disk management on the host side. In general terms, if you have to ask, then no, it isn't fit for your purpose. (unless this is Hybrid SMR in which case all bets are off)
