Sunshine and Moonlight are the server-client pair of apps you will want to use to do any LAN game streaming. They are relatively easy to set up, but it's something you should know about before purchasing if you intend to use this as a game streaming device.

As for performance, I have not had any issues at all with this model of Shield. I used it to replace the smart features on a 2016 Samsung TV that was getting progressively more annoying and losing support for applications like Twitch.

I mostly use it as my plex server, but it's having issues there, although I think a lot of that has to do with Plex, not the shield. I can try to watch content straight from plex on the shield and it has issues, but watch the same content via plex on a computer and no issues. So as a plex server it still seems to be fine, but as a plex player, not so much.

Also a reason why I play in Apple's camp for a change with my one projector using an atv4k. The rest I'm still on Android.
My TV only supports 4K@60Hz, so cannot comment on support for higher refresh rates. If you plan to use upscaling, the Shield's maximum supported framerate is 60Hz.
The shield has the plex app and you can set it to server or client.
You will need transcoding when:
Oh, or subtitles are required for odd media formats. Or your playback device doesn't like the source media files, for whatever reason. Or if it's a day ending in -y and Plex just says "Hey, we need to transcode!". Very helpful to have PlexPass + Intel QSV on those days.
