I get a faint blinking activity light
Are you sure the RPi4 power adapter is providing enough juice?
The activity light (green) is the drive led, 'faint' could also mean lots of disk activity is going on (as in superfast blinking).

NTFS is not my favorite disk format when running a Linux OS, but ExFAT is also an option if you want format the 1TB SSD for both OSes.
Alternatively, you could run a bootable Linux distro from USB on your PC (such as Ubuntu), and transfer all your files on a then Linux default EXT4 formatted 1TB SSD... Any subsequent additions can be done over the network.
Just my 0.02c.

I use shielded FTP cables, the price difference was negligible, and it won't hurt.

Have any LibreELEC developers started to look at the newer Nvidia Jetson Nano developer kits / Nvidia Jetson Nano development boards?
Not LibreELEC, but some people on the Kodi forum are busy with it, off and on: Nvidia Jetson Nano, superfast Kodi device?

There is always the possibility of a cable having hairfractures, and that there are performance issues. Try a different cable, a different port in your switch/router, etc.

100 Mbit & gigabit cable is designed to handle 100 metres.

Your power adapter is not as powerful as it was/is advertised.
Find yourself a proper adapter of at least 3.0-3.5 Amps for a RPi3B+ (depending on which USB hardware is attached).

Let me take this time to point out that I AM NOT ASKING HOW TO START TERMINAL!!!! so people will stop giving stupid replies.
It's always so refreshing to know what people really need. Either the words got lost in translation before, or somewhere between brain cells, it's not always possible to know right away what someone REALLY means when he is typing in words on a forum. Bold words start out of nowhere... Plus, the other forum users are not sitting next to you in front (or behind) behind your computer. Or perhaps the questions are read too fast so details might be lost. So, sometimes we are making educated guesses.
We get rewarded for it with a big yapping mouth full of ... $%^&*. How nice. I'll be AFK now, probably longer than 3400 seconds. -
Yup libreelec.tv does not want problems solved in a reasonable time frame.
I'm not aware of any changes on latest timeouts on new posts/searches/etc, but there is a strict policy on the forum because of anti-spam measures. Something which is unfortunately necessary.

I'm using Ubuntu Server 18.04 as well.
Weird. I have only the NFS mount in autostart on a RPi4 and a Generic Intel box, and they work with it.
Perhaps your NFS export settings are different. Anyways, your problem seems to be solved.

How do I start in a Terminal session? Press CTRL-ALT-T on your keyboard.
-
Just wondering what device you use as a NFS server...?
I'm using Ubuntu Server 18.04 here.

I've never bothered with the 'new' mounting process in LibreELEC. Simply only placing a mount command in autostart.sh is enough for me, along with having "Wait for network" enabled for 30 secs (RPIs with wifi are sometimes slow). As an example:
-
Simply start it in a Terminal session. Did you make the .bin file executable?

Install and run GParted in Mint. You can check the status of the SDcard partitions. And yes, read-only mode can be one of the culprits.

Last time I attempted an update using this type of file it corrupted my database.
Then you may have had a corrupted SD card when the img.gz file got extracted. However, the img.gz file can also be used for updating LibreELEC. It will be decompressing automagically.
Whatever went wrong the previous time, will not happen every time.
That said, always make backups first before upgrading an OS or application.

How do I set up a bigger pc in my house so they use it's graphics ect?
That all goes way beyond the realm of support by LibrELEC. Also, there have been plenty of HP thin clients with many different hardware setups, it's impossible to tell if they are useable. So if the capabilities of the graphics engines on these thin clients themselves turn out to be insufficient for today's LibreELEC usage, you can still use the thin clients as sophisticated book ends.

Try contacting the Argon developers, it's their software you are downloading.
