Some more data from running overnight, temperature in the electric cupboard varied between 23.5 and 24.5 degrees so quite warm (not unusual for that place in the house).
I decided to set selfcontrolled to 1 in /ramfs/enclosure.cfg and set pwm to 200. Almost immediately, the fan speed stabilises around 2200 rpm. And the temperature remains around 40 degrees, I believe this is a much better setup than relying on the NAS to automatically regulate its temperature and fan speed!
root@vanrun:/tmp# cat /ramfs/enclosure.cfg
fan!!0!!desc=SYS,selfcontrolled=1,minrpm=2000,required=1,alternate=0,path=/proc/fan0_rpm,in_path=/proc/fan0_pwm
...
root@vanrun:/tmp# echo 200 > /proc/fan0_pwm

For those looking to collect similar data, here's the shell script I used. The date / time format allows for a smooth import as .csv into Excel or other tools.
root@vanrun:/tmp# cat log-rpm-fan-exp.sh
log=/tmp/log-rpm-fan-exp.log
while :
do
input=/var/log/frontview/enclosure.log
rpm=`cat /proc/fan0_rpm`
pwm=`cat /proc/fan0_pwm`
temp=`sed -n 1p $input | cut -c 27-30 | sed '/[0-9]\./s/\./,/g'`
disk1=`sed -n 5p $input | sed -r 's/([^0-9]*([0-9]*)){6}.*/\2/'`
disk2=`sed -n 6p $input | sed -r 's/([^0-9]*([0-9]*)){6}.*/\2/'`
disk3=`sed -n 7p $input | sed -r 's/([^0-9]*([0-9]*)){6}.*/\2/'`
disk4=`sed -n 8p $input | sed -r 's/([^0-9]*([0-9]*)){6}.*/\2/'`
date=`date +"%d/%m/%y %T"`
echo $date\;$temp\;$rpm\;$pwm\;$disk1\;$disk2\;$disk3\;$disk4 >> $log
sleep 5
done
