Currently using macmini i5 from 2014 and HP i7 from 2016. Wary about purchasing from woke companies and don't want to upgrade for a good long time. Budget of 2000$. Would appreciate the input of battle-hardened keyboard warriors.

Investigate Linux.
Have done but Linux on what and which OS?
https://linuxconfig.org/best-multimedia-linux-distributions
You can simply make a linux live CD of any of these distros and try them without compromising your current setup. I would recommend AV or Modica.
download distro.iso
install rufus on your windows box.
plug in the USB stick; make it bootable.
tranfer the ISO.
restart your box. F12, change boot device to USB
Enjoy.
Personally, I do not mind what distro, as long as it does not run systemd. Any app I can obtain from the package database.
However .... do check whether your video card in your new box is supported (I would expect so, but better be sure)
Also, what I notice is that linux is much more kinder to your setup and it works like a breeze for years .... There are updates .....there are easy to install and do not subject you to unwanted restarts and other forceful measures.
Lol at systemd
It's awful.
Good call.
Thanks for this link. What video editing software is compatible with Linux and is it difficult to add to the build and run from this drive?
Nothing. You cannot crossplatform unless it is made in Java, which is a questionable thing.
Moving to Linux is quite an experience.
But if you have a favorite video edit software, check the website of that software and look for Linux versions.
.Deb or .rpm files are often present.
If not, you'll have to get used to something else.

Thanks for the start red-toe.
Thanks for the info
It would be nice if I understood what you said...LOL
Based on your video editing, I would look at distro's that lean more towards supporting video editing software.
I'm a bit out of touch on self-build so I don't want to give specifics as it will be out of date by now.
Will do.
