Fair enough, though I figure those are “will work some day” limitations of the Apple TV.

One might argue it’s cheaper than paying for a beefy GPU to do transcoding.

Might not be the answer you’re looking for, but Apple TV + Infuse is a fantastic media player. It has support for basically every codec so your server doesn’t have to be beefy — you can just direct stream everything. I stream full 4K UHD

Sorry, you’re right. I was thinking of the TV itself. Yes for a box it’s a little more complicated. Personally I go with Apple TV. Much more polished UI than a Roku and certainly no being bombarded with ads.
