From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

If your data is very important you should definitely prioritize implementing your backup for at least the most important stuff. You could probably move it over, but in case something happens your data will most likely be gone, or best case very hard to recover.
Fedora is a great distro, but they are decidedly bleeding edge on purpose and IMO not the best choice for a server hosting critical data.
A better option would be running a hypervisor like proxmox (you can even convert your existing Debian install, but I havent tried this personally) and passing your GPU to a virtual machine that runs fedora.
This gives you both a very stable environment for your data and and a bleeding edge environment where your hardware decoding likely works great. I do this exact thing personally and it works great.
