For Plex, you're probably 2 transcoding streams max with just the CPU. You'll want PlexPass and a dedicated video card. Many people run 8th gen or newer (I think) Intel CPUs if they're transcoding to avoid needing to install a video card in their NAS. Alternatively, I suppose you could do transcoding on the end user devices somehow.
Also, if you just want to set it and forget it for the next 3-4 years, the 5800X3D for $277 is going to be your last stop for the AM4 platform and it's a beast.

For normal remote work applications, your 2600 is fine.
If you are a gamer, it would be a very nice upgrade and worthwhile in my eyes.
What do you do with your pc? Holding on to your "older" hardware is absolutely fine as long as it works for you.
