I’m just sticking with leaving the iMac in a corner of the room for now, a
little moving about means we can use the room as we intended still, albeit
not as well as we’d like, but is does. Plex doesn’t really seem to offer a
solution to my particular problem, as it still needs a desktop/static
source device.

It seems that there’s not going to be an easy way to achieve this as yet,
but perhaps the next stage might be to try and swap the iMac for something
smaller, just to handle the storage, backup, and upload of media. All of my
media is on external drives, so almost anything would do, perhaps an old
MacBook.
