more of an admin preference and system usage type https://www.baeldung.com/linux/separate-home-partition
on a multi-user server it may be better to have separate home partitions for the users
on a server it will not be as useful because "services" do not have or use a home, they use the system partition
on all my servers there is 1 user, root, which has a home and that home space is less than 256MB almost always
on my personal use machines i use a separate (encrypted) partition for home because that's for my files and there are no space hungry services running
for jellyfin, it needs to run as it's own user id (as most services do) and that userid should not be allowed access to another accounts home folder
so this goes back to 'server' use instead of multi-'user' use
