Have you tried an External Media Scraper and putting Movies and TV series in individual folders with their associated Metadata on a fast NAS or HDD ?
With a large media library it really is the only way to get organised. Makes the Library very Portable then as well to any Kodi device and does not limit your choice of Hardware options. You can easily clone a library as well. No need to do slow metadata rescraping everytime you upgrade, do it once and once only.
I too learnt that lesson a few years back after running into issues such as yours, roll up the sleeves and put the work in and do regular maintenance to stay on top of the expanding Library. You won't regret it.
I use the popular MediaElch, further discussion on this topic needs to go to this thread:
