What are my options?
Even if I buy a new NAS, will I be able to insert my old disks without it wiping the data?
If you were running 2x2TB XRAID, then you actually are running RAID-1. One option is to connect one of the disks to a Windows PC (either with SATA or a USB/SATA adapter/dock), and then use freeware (R-linux for Windows) to copy the data to a PC or USB drive. https://www.r-studio.com/free-linux-recovery/
You won't be to migrate the disks directly to a new NAS - so you'd need to purchase a used NV+ v2. Netgear stopped producing your NAS around 9 years ago, so anything you purchase would be 9-11 years old. If you go this route, be careful that you get the right model. The original NV+ (called a v1 here), and the v2 are not compatible - you can not migrate your disks from one to the other.
