MODERATORS
Are you seriously suggesting running a Plex server on the Steam Deck in addition to the Plex media player? Because last I checked, the Plex media player can play (I think) but not index them. I'm a happy Plex user with lifetime Plex pass, but that's just stupid.
Kodi is a solid standalone solution for exactly what OP is asking, with controller support. Kodi wouldn't be my first choice for networked media playback, but it's brilliant for exactly OP's use case. And it really isn't laggy unless you overload it with plugins.
