I also have a Synology nas, a DS413 for 10 years now.
and I use it like this also for 10 years now. It works great. Only consumes ~4W in deep sleep/system hibernation (the wording depends on from which year you find text mentioning the above nas. Synology decided to reword the function back in some year), and automatically wakes up whenever it is needed.
(also not this is not only HDD sleep, it is full system sleep)
