Jellyfin lets me flexibly provide whatever video/music content I want to my family. In an interface that is basically "Netflix" - so they can actually figure out how to use it. You just listed like 4 applications, a linux box, and physical cables as your requirements. That is not a workable starting point for that discussion. My requirements are "Go to jellyfin.[mydomain]" and log in. It works basically everywhere (I am currently watching content from my jellyfin server while on vacation in a different state as I type this). Basically - you are optimizing for "low setup cost" as an admin. Jellyfin is optimizing for the entire group of people who will watch your content as users. As an aside... Sonarr/Radarr/Jellyfin are just a different league than the old school "I'll download every episode myself" time sink. It takes some genuine effort to setup, and then everything is way better.
