Like many people here I'm also planning on moving to Immich. It frankly looks amazing and it has a TrueCharts version, so it should be relatively easy to deploy on TrueNAS Scale. I'm going to wait a little longer though since it's still in relatively active development and there are quite a lot of breaking changes that I currently don't feel like dealing with.
As somebody that already has an NFS share for their photos, is immich able to use my already existing photo location, or is it another one of those that requires an import process that copies them to its own storage?
There is an experimental feature where you can have a read only share (mount point) and you can run a cli and import it into Immich
I guess it depends on what you're looking for. You'll probably be able to configure it to display your photos, but when it comes to more "advanced" features like creating albums, sharing photos with other users and the like, it's understandably pretty difficult to find a system that would allow you to configure your own storage system.
Perhaps, but there are a few that do it, such as photoprisim and photostruct.
