i use jellyfin in the way you are trying
1 jellyfin server
1 home theatre
multiple "remote" clients, tablets, phones etc
i think you're trying to do too much with 1 machine
i have a single home server
a single home theater client (zidoo z9x pro) which handles full 4K bluray remux backups, because you don't want to sacrifice anything in your home theater
then there are the clients that need transcoding features from jellyfin, samsung tvs+jellyfin client, android tv clients, android tablets and phones
most of my local clients (lan) only need audio transcoding, it's when i use remote clients that i need to limit bandwidth
storage - your NAS should be fast enough, you only need enough bandwidth to serve a single file's bitrate and even with 4K that barely makes it over 100Mbps on the worst days
i believe you're having issues with playback because of the client, try Kodi as a client as it supports more
a PC for playback will limit you to 10bit HDR (on a good day) and no Dolby Vision, consider an android based client
forget about browsers, they're rather terrible with jellyfin
i would not recommend pre-encoding anything, that's what transcoding is there for, no point in pre-doing something that the server can do on the fly
