That's also been my approach for a couple of years now. I've deployed a Windows desktop PC as an application server, and that is where I run plex and other applications. I agree it's more scalable.
My media player is a PS3. I like the included Blue-Ray player, it's not used for games.
I did not use Plex, because I like the file browsing in and out of folders, and not sure Plex can do that (respect my folder hierarchy).
I will stager the SSD's willi-nilly, one was used in my lapyop before, one is new, good thing you reminded me.I have problems with stutering, but from what you describe it looks more it's a PS3 decoding lack of oomph.
Which brings me to the next logical question. Apparently I shall I use another media renderer,
Sony is not powerful enough, and has an extremely limited file type of playing.
Can you recommend a versatile one that can decode easily 1080p even in mkv formats and play flac files?
the ne PS4 or Xbox One X can do that ??? - i don't care about games. Thanks.

It could be network related. Are you streaming over wifi?
Stuttering can also be caused by bitstream errors in the files, or by files that aren't compliant with the BluRay H.264 profile. So if the stuttering happens with specific files, you might see if you can play them from a USB disk connected to the PS3.

My own media players are old and no longer on the market, so I don't have good advice to offer there. Most new ones don't support direct access to network shares. Plex will stream mkv and flac (though flac might need to be transcoded for some players).
There is a folder view that can be set on the server side. You can certainly try that on a PC (using the web interface), and see if it presents in a way that works for you.
