Yes that's what I would like to advocate for. I did something similar with LunaSea, but often people suggest doing that with Jellyfin and are not aware that almost no apps support it, and that adding exceptions for the API makes you basically as secure as not having it. But people tend to get very defensive when you try to tell them that something won't work, so I try to phrase it as a question to see if I can get them to understand what the limitations are in a way that's less confrontational.
