When you made your first container for Jellyfin (container 1), did you make an external folder location for your Jellyfin config files? Why not just point container 2 to that folder?
That is what I do for all updates to Jellyfin. Though I actually make a copy of the config folder just in case I want to revert back to the previous Jellyfin version. So my new docker container gets access only to the new copy of the config folder.
I don't exactly know what files are responsible for the playlists, but you can transfer all your data from the old container by just directly copying the whole config folder and giving it to the new container.
I'm assuming that you didn't make a host path for your config folder back then and all your config data is in the old container. You'll have to gain access to the container contents and copy them outside the container into a synology dataset/folder.
Then when you have the old config folder in a proper location, you just add it as a host path with "/config" for the new container, and all your playlists and everything else is carried over. You don't even have to rescan all of your files too.
