I think I left enough context clues in my post to understand that by "serverless" and "no server, thick client", I meant "the client also handles the server function" or "closing the client suspends operation of the server". But in case I didn't, just to clarify, when I said "serverless", I meant Kodi and things like Kodi, and when I said "server", I meant Plex and things like Plex, including Emby and Jellyfin.

Typically for that you have "headless server" - a server that has no display connected, and to which you access though other means (a web browser, an app, ...) → this is Jellyfin & Co. Then you have "servers with a display", a desktop or workstation → Kodi. Kodi does not have a client, nor a client-server architecture. All of these applications are primarily servers.
