I have drive errors on one of my 3 data drives. Time to upgrade to 4.x. Can I just attach the other 2 data drives after a fresh install have have the system recognize the file shares on them? Just mount them and be good to go?

The file systems will be recognized, but none of the shares or any other configuration done in your previous install will carry over. It all has to be done again from scratch when doing a fresh install.

Awesome, the rest is easy enough to do.
I have a full backup of the data disks and was hoping not spend hours restoring all the data. That will work just fine. -

You might want to wait for OMV5. It is not clear when it will be anounced as stable, but it seem the current version is already a candidate. Depends also on the plugins you are using.
Whatever you do, disconnect the data drives before installing OMV. Just to make sure to not install on the wrong drive
