I tried to do the same thing, but the 4K+HDR streaming story is fully broken/DRM'd to hell on PC. You simply cannot stream 4K+HDR in most (all?) services on a modern PC (my HTPC is also a gaming PC... so Nvidia graphics in my case).

I went with Apple TV + Plex (along with D+/NFLX/Peacock/HBO Max/Hulu/AppleTV/Prime/Cable... but I still can't find everything I want)

I think the main problem is HDR right? Because I don't think that 4K per se would be an issue? To be fair my TV is not 4K so I haven't tried 4K streaming... Even on my gaming PC I don't have 4K because I preferred to spend on a higher refresh rate 1440p rather than a 4K panel so I really don't have a direct experience.

The problem is that providers will refuse to serve you that content in most cases. Some will let you have content if you use their windows store app on a sufficiently modern PC to support the CPU assisted DRM, at least until there's an exploit for that and then they'll discontinue sending that content to your system and you need to buy a new one.
