in short, any recommendations on simply ripping all these CDs to
hard drive, while having no idea what i will eventually use to play

I use grip to do it. I used to rip to ogg, but now I have started using
flac and I'm trying to go back and redo all the CDs again. I have a bit
of a custom process because I have my own custom jukebox system with a
web interface that I made *many* years ago. However, I have recently
come across Logitech Media Server and I highly recommend it if you want
a multi-room audio system. It can play to ChromeCast devices and UPNP
and you can run the squeezelite client on any computer. There is also a
free Android client for controlling the clients called "squeezer".
I will second what Steve said though, ripping CDs is mind numbing boring...
