No, this is not a list of accepted modes. Please carefully re-read starting from the title clearly stating "Set Port Trunking on your QNAP NAS to increase the bandwidth via 802.3ad protocol." title - it's an example for link between QNAP NAS and Smart Managed Managed Switches for switches supporting 802.3ad aka LACP LAG.

A much better example for this use case - shown with an unmanaged QNAP switch as an example, applicable to virtually any unmanaged switch in the market - would be Configuring Port Trunking with a QNAP Unmanaged Switch and a QNAP NAS 

We did everything with QNAP QTS to keep things transparent and simple as possible. There is a LOT of information provided while initially configuring a LAG. This includes comprehensive information when the possible LAG settings are listed.

Said that, for an unmanaged switch, the ubiquitous selection is General Switch, and Balance-alb, perfect for an unmanaged switch like the JGS516.

The network trunking modes like balance-tlb and balance-alb are described in the QNAP QTS Documentation -> Network & Virtual Switch -> How to use and set up your Network & Virtual switch?
