I swapped to jellyfin and it was worth it but it was a lot of work. I had to pay for a static ip, set up my home network properly, and redo all my metadata. and months later I'm still finding missing or incorrectly tagged media. plus it doesn't auto update. also I had to tell my friends and family to download a new app and make logins for them.

Same experience for me. I teetered on the edge of "Was it worth it" and now I think yes, yes it was - but it was not as easy as the bros here say when they comment "Just switch to jellyfin"
