I currently have my MySQL server running on a windows pc thats is an i5 plenty of ram and its flawless. I wanted to move away from that as this pc has become a bit of a daily user and wanted to isolate my mysql to just a single device that is running mysql. I have 5 devices total that access the mysql server for kodi. My question is will I get good performance out of this setup or will I need something like an intel NUC to make mysql run how it is now. All my data resides on a NAS.

Just spitballing, but I'd say a Pi3 dedicated just to serving MySQL should do fine. You mentioned all your data is on a NAS. Will that include the database tables? That's likely to cause a larger performance issue than running it on a Pi. I'd suggest having the db tables stored on the Pi, even if that means getting a larger SD card.
