Any way to try to recover that data from the disks if they are still functional?
If you get a new (or used) OS-6 ReadyNAS, you can migrate the disks to it. If the array is functional data will be preserved.
You can also purchase RAID recovery software that supports BTRFS, and off load data that way - for instance, ReclaiMe. https://www.reclaime.com/
The volume can be mounted for free on a PC running linux, and there are also mdadm and btrfs beta packages that should let you mount them for free in Windows also.
If you do decide to replace your NAS, I suggest that you put a backup plan in place. Devices can fail without warning (or get stolen, etc). The best way to protect it is to back it up.
