I have my DS918+ on a APC Back-UPS Pro 1500 (BR1500G), along with cable modem and UniFi network gear. It's great for all that.
The BR1500G's are a slightly older model and the newer version is BR1500MS that has a better sine wave output.
There is a BR1000MS (1000VA) model which is a little cheaper with shorter run time if it is just the NAS right running on it. Just under $150 at Amazon.

There is also a BR700G (700VA slightly older model) that still seems still available for around $114 at Amazon.

There are some smaller units, but usually they don't have the USB connection to tell the NAS when to shut down. There may be something out there a little less money, but not that I am aware of at the moment.
Do you think a 600w UPS would be fine for my system? I really don't need it to power for more than 1-5 minutes, and my total system load on pcpartpicker is about 350w.. Similar to the one you linked: https://www.amazon.com/APC-Sinewave-Battery-Protector-BR1000MS/dp/B0779KYKLB
IF the power cut happens while the PS4 was writing data to the disk, you will lose that data (a save file corruption for example) but it will not damage your hardware.
If you have psychological issues, then the above info will not help you manage your fear. What will help you though is investing into a simple UPS (uninterruptible power supply) to which you should connect your PS4 and your TV, like this one for example

Do not buy surge protectors, that will do nothing for the power out and most UPS devices have surge protection built in.
Once you get the UPS, you can relax knowing that even if the power gets cut, you will have enough electricity in the UPS's batter to safely stop the game and shut down your PS4.
850VA can only sustain about 500W generally. By the time you account for your PSU's inefficiencies, it's possible you'd be pulling more from the UPS than that.
You'd probably want to go with at least a 1000va unit like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0779KYKLB/
