There are two benefits to a reverse proxy.
1) You can have multiple services on one port when using subpaths or subdomains.
2) Security. Jellyfin is not hardened and makes no security claims. Having a reverse proxy handling https allows a hardened application to handle the SSL/TLS handshake. Additionally, most reverse proxies give you more security options, like restricting which ciphers are allowed and adding cross origin policies.
