Is there an app available that allows one to automatically backup photos and videos from a mobile device to the home network?

As far as I know, it is not possible. Access the fotos from your phone is possible via Synology Photos

Can I use 2-4TB SSD and use JBOD to get 8 TB storage?

I would say no. Using 2 4TB drives will only give you 4TB storage as one of the two drives is a mirror of the first one for fail-over. This is the purpose of NAS drive system. Synology website will explain the configurations in more detail. There are several excellent YouTube videos online to get more detailed information.

can you run plex off this to stream home videos?

Yes, you can install Plex and run a media server. I am personally using Kodi but both function just fine on the Synology NAS.

Is your ds223 nas compatible with seagate 8 tb ironwolf harddrives?

Yes, this is exactly what I have in my NAS DS223. 8GB seagate iron wolf. They work really well.
