I have been using a Odroid N2+ running CoreELEC with the Jellyfin plugin ever since it released. Plays absolutely everything you throw at it, even 4k60 with HDR.

If you need Dolby Vision, you will need one of the supported devices, the Odroid N2+ is not one of them.
How does storage look/work with a SBC? Do you have to boot off of an SD card? Any support for sata drives?
That depends on the SBC.
Most of them boot from SD so you will want to get an enterprise SD card or one for cameras.
The Odroids have an eMMC slot for storage. Most boot from USB as well.
There are now SBC with SATA ports and even some with M.2 or PCI-e slots.
That's cool! I've used enough raspberry pi's over the years to know that SD cards, even if industrial grade are likely to fail at some point so I try to avoid booting from them. eMMC would be much better but sometimes a pain to flash depending on the tooling available. Having a SATA port would allow to use HDDs which provide a lot of capacity for cheap. I guess the processor needs to be an Amlogic for the best media experience?
If you want to use CoreELEC, yes. It only supports Amlogic.
They also support flashing a lot of different TV android boxes and some can be had for cheap so also worth looking there.
