FWIW, I spent a few weeks ripping all of my CDs, I have a home NAS with external access configured.
But, I haven't bought a CD in years and years. I pay a monthly subscription amount to Deezer, previously to Google Play Music and, previous to that, to Spotify. The vast majority of my music listening is streamed from Deezer. I probably play less than a track a week from my NAS, when it something I own but can't find on Deezer.
Subscription streaming just ticks all of the boxes: access from anywhere; no worries about home technology setup, support or failure; voice control with all major systems; synchronisation across devices; offline download for mobile; huge convenience; vast library; known expenditure.
For me it is really a no brainer.
