I have a Pro, so I can't really speak to the NV+ v2 performance.
Transcoding requires a lot of CPU, but streaming w/o transcoding does not. If you aren't using transcoding (for instance, if you are just using ReadyDLNA), then I think you won't see any issue at all.
Also, Crashplan uses CPU while its uploading new files (or recovering files), but doesn't use much when the backup is caught up. It does a daily disk scan, but you can set the time for that so it is off-hours. So when CrashPlan is caught up, there would also be no CPU contention.
