IMO the security risk isn't a big issue on a home network (though opinions on that vary). It's a bigger deal if the PC is also connected to an enterprise network (for instance connected to a VPN if you are working from home).
The only good solution is to get a newer NAS. You can re-purpose the Duo as a backup NAS (using rsync for backup, and disabling SMB altogether on the Duo).
