You could store active projects in a Onedrive-Account and sync that seamlessly. Much better working speed with local files on SSD vs NAS storage or VPN. Library could stay on NAS.

chuck me a simple scene which has this problem and ill see if theres anything obvious. Just a cube with a texture which complains about it missing. Don't use 'save project', just copy the file as-is so no file paths get changed. Why not turn on windows/mac backups? both OS's have built in tools where you can roll back a file to any previous version from weeks or months ago. In fact use the network drive as the backup location that way you get local performance and the backups are all RAIDed up. Nothing stops you from having your external drive backed up. Its just a drive like any other. Set it to backup to your local machine or the NAS when connected, it can silently do this in the background. Here I run most projects from an external 4tb SSD, that drive backs up to a local 18tb hdd whilst connected. On top of this there's the backups via proliferation; ie. theres a copy of most stuff on the render master, theres a copy on the Raided NAS when projects are finished. Even without my own official backup, the data gets copied around so much that its always in multiple places.
