Why not j? The DS220j is the only one where Synology (at least on
Newegg) says that it can do volumes up to 64TB. And they don't say it
can do BTRFS, but they don't say anything about filesystems for any of
their other enclosures either.

The only other options, of any brand, for < $200 don't say much in their
specifications either. And I was definitely striving for another brand,
because it pisses me off that Synology sold me a device four years ago
with a 32-bit CPU, and I wouldn't have bought it if they had told me.
