As someone who was late to the game, I never even considered Plex and have been totally satisfied with Jellyfin. Is there anything better about Plex?
Plex was the jellyfin of the 2010’s. Pirate-centric (or at least agnostic), hobbyist focused, a bit hard to use and ugly but super valuable.
Then they went corporate and yeah it’s weird and in decline.
I would absolutely love to cut to jellyfin, but for the TV integration. Last time i looked samsung TV's (which most of my fam use) dont have a decent client. Has that changed?
Not having that is an absolute deal breaker.

These are the pain points I experienced moving from Plex to Jellyfin a while ago: - Jellyfin forced me to organize my files into Show/Season folders, whereas Plex just handled my original flat mess of scattered files. - When playing video on Plex, I generally have to wait some time before subtitles show up, whereas the subtitles in Plex just show up immediately - Plex has built in search for openly available subtitle…

Didn’t the Jellyfin project lead and some other core founders quit this week?
Should an Emby premiere user consider moving to Jellyfin?
It has more polish and refinement than Jellyfin but doesn't have the obtrusive ads and whatnot that Plex offers. Client support is also great. Jellyfin is still quickly gaining ground but Emby is still my media server of choice for now.

Regarding this, try out sonarr/radarr with hard links.
The vision of Silo appears to be much more clear, and has quite a few great devs behind it. It also has features to run side by side and has full JF api support. I have no involvement in the project, just excited for a new player in the space.
Something to keep an eye on!
