There are plenty of ways this could technically be achieved, but the arrs are not where you would be looking IMO for content deletion (that's automated).
Though there is a option in the arrs that sets the content to "unmonitored" once it's deleted on disk. This way the content is not regrabbed once deleted.
Think of the arrs as your downloaders, Plex/Jellyfin/Kodi as your viewers.
If you are using something like unraid for your OS you can set a script that deletes files older then a certain date, or if you use truenas you can do the same. This all really depends where you host/store your files.
And Plex does have the ability to delete content once watched, though I don't use it as I have multiple users that watch my content, so I have no good way to classify what watched means, as well as there is content that I don't want deleted as it's not available online anymore.
