My requirements towards one solution is almost the same as yours. I've tried for a (relative) long time with jellyfin since I don't like the half-assed selfhosted/commercial approach from plex.
I think jellyfin works great for:
* multi-user with setting limits and access
* multiple devices
* chromecasting everything
* native apps (the one for firetv works perfect)
* meta data scrapping
* automatic subtitle downloading and managing
* creating playlists and collections
I tried using jellyfin also for:
* music
* audiobooks
* ebooks
but without any satisfactory success. I now use calibre-online for ebooks and am yet to find something good for audiobooks/music.
I don't think you will ever find a PERFECT selfhosted completely opensource tool for everything and by now i think that's fine.
