I wonder whether those QNAPs that are having problems with Tidal were set up long ago (and not updated to 4.3.x firmware) or, in complete contrast, set up rather recently. The only thing I know about my and Tom's QNAPs, which both work with Tidal, is that they are both on 4.3.x firmware (though his is a slightly later version than mine).

Joel: am I right in thinking there is a Roon version for QNAPs with x86 processors? If so, getting a QNAP would not be so dangerous as one could always switch to Roon if that became absolutely necessary. I expect that, as a Roon developer, you would like us all to switch immediately, but please allow those of us who like the old horses a fighting chance and not frighten those horses too much!
