I achieved what I wanted in the end:
1. Export playlist in MusicBee to m3u8 with paths that are correct for jellyfin.
2. Place m3u8 file in a folder in the music library.
3. Let jellyfin rescan the music library.
4. Sync the jellyfin source in Symfonium.
5. Import the playlist in Symfonium.
6. Delete the m3u8 file from the music folder.
7. Let jellyfin rescan the music library.
That way I have the playlist on my phone while it does not show up for any other user in jellyfin or any of my other programs.
It's far from intuitive, takes a long time and changing something in the playlist requires redoing all of the steps above.
None of it would be necessary if jellyfin had an "import playlist" option in the UI that imports playlists, limits their scope to the user who imported them as default and lets users edit ownership (if you do want to share your playlist with another user) within the UI.
Or if it at least had a folder like "/var/db/jellyfin/data/playlists/" with the difference that it actually scans the files in that folder.
