Any reason these renewed drives from Amazon would be a bad choice? Planning on getting 4 of them to build a NAS and maybe hosting jellyfin.

You should anticipate that your storage devices will fail. Drives are consumables. The system that controls the drives should be built for long-term reliability via redundancy. The actual drives should not be expected to have long-term reliability.
