unraid with Thunerbolt 3 and 10GbE SFP+ network

I had plan to use unraid with a Mac Pro 4.1/5.1, but it seems this is impossible at the moment.

 

So I decided to get an Intel NUC or similar small factor PC which has Thunderbolt 3 and connect it with a QNAP QNA SFP+ adaptor.

 

This adaptor has a known good compatibility with macOS, but I'm not sure if it will work with unraid.

 

Am I going the right direction?

Assume it won't work. Thunderbolt is at a very early stage in terms of support. I think driver was only added on 6.8.1-rc1 i.e. a few days ago.

Thanks, I just quickly tried it with my iMac. Unraid will boot and lspci seemed to show the Thunderbolt 3 bus. I plugged the QNAP QNA, nothing shows for the ifconfig. I will pass the idea for now.
