Defrag and Scrub
Is it necessary to run a scheduled scan on my RN314 for Defrag and Scrub? Volumes are only JBOD and no Snapshots. If so how often should these be scheduled to run?
I've noticed the Shares are set to auto-defrag, is this different to volume defrag? should I also enable Bit Rot Protection?
Would this work ok
Defrag every month on the 1st
Scrub every month on the 20th
So can all volumes be defrag or scrub at once?

Up to you, personally I space them out (and run them every four months, since I only run one of the tests each month).
Don't neglect balance and the disk test. IMO they are the most valuable.

It's the same defrag process, just run for the share instead of the entire volume. I don't know what triggers auto-defrag to run.

Personally I enable it. It enables BTRFS checksums on the share, which would give you some more information on what files are damaged if the disk starts to fail.
