Another OMV user for several years and have been happy about it.  It's a
NAS system based on Debian (latest version based on Buster), on top of
which it provides its NAS management layer and you can control what to
install or not.  There is no ads, no telemetry, and it manages my ZFS
raidz1 cluster without any issue for several years, and the system
itself takes less than 5GB space, so I'm not sure why you'd call it
bloatware.
