Some control points (BubbleUPnP, Hi-Fi Cast, perhaps others) support text search from the contents of the current browsing selection. This means if you have browsed to DSF:2 (or some other container below this) and you issue a text search, you will only see stereo DSF files in the search results. Other control points only allow text search over the whole library, so you are correct that with these control points you would see some unwanted files. Which control point(s) do you use?

As simbun has said, for selection from the Artist, Composer, etc. indexes provided by MinimServer, you will see exactly the files that you want. This should work with all UPnP control points.

Regarding the problem with disk activity preventing the NAS from sleeping, I have done some testing on my Synology NAS and I can confirm that the solution is to add the -XX:-UsePerfData option when launching Java. To do this in a Docker container, you need to create a file /opt/minimserver/etc/minimstart.conf in the container with the contents

javaopts = -XX:-UsePerfData

You can use a Docker terminal window to create this file. After doing this, you need to stop and restart the MinimServer container.

Regarding the ability to run multiple media servers within a single instance of MinimServer, there are some tricky technical issues with adding this feature and it is not likely to happen in the near or medium term.
