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.

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.
Without PlexPass, the DS920+ chip is nothing special. But because it has QuickSync, with PlexPass, it *screams* as a Plex server, and is a transcoding beast. If you did get into Plex, particularly used remotely, it's fantastic.
They need to either release another model or give us an update. It's been quite a while.
