Like you said having a 720p vid with higher bitrate than a 1080p one is 100% and is precisly the reason why having bitrate as the regulation method is bad. Jellyfin should try to aim for the resolution the user is asking for, and if the network is too slow, lower the bitrate/resolution if necessary. Even youtube does it that way.
Google pulls in $300B a year. I'd hope they can do things better than us.
On our web based clients (includes JMP, JF Android, JF Mobile) click on your user icon in the top right, click on Playback. There is a setting in there called "Maximum Allowed Transcoding Resolution".
Transcoding for any reason will reduce the resolution to that setting or lower.
I don't recall seeing a similar setting in my CCwGTV 4K or Roku Ultra.
