Jellyfin is not there yet but it definitely can be. It can be done pretty easily without any centralised server.

Sending people magic links to their accounts on their phones that auto log them into Jellyfin.
Make IP dictionary to have people type "cat mug door end" which pings the server with a login from an IP.
Show QR code.
Scan with an authorised app which pings the server to authorise the device on behalf of the user.

It's passwordless 4 word input + phone scan that can be optimised for TV pretty heavily since you only need make something 10^12 unique to account for all IPv4.

It will take around 15-30 hours to code though for a person familiar with Jellyfin on android TV and server.
