As has been said multiple times now, the ONLY way you'll going to be able to mange Kodi with the exact same experience as it appears to your your family in the other room is to use remote desktop software, so if you can't do that with your NAS then you need to run Kodi on a device that allows you to install a desktop OS which will allow you to connect via remote desktop.
True a web client is not going to deliver the kind of thing it seems that both the OP and I would like. Also true that currently some kind of remote desktop software with a suitable OS device running Kodi is the only approach available. However I do wonder where "headless" Kodi may lead. A client server version of Kodi isn't a silly idea, splitting the UI from the core player and then getting a Kodi front end on one device to talk to a Kodi back end on another. But it is certainly a big move from where we currently are.
