Alrighty, it was a bit tedious but I was able to sort it out! Since I don't have proper permissions set on my directory with all the media I would turn my server off, plug the external HD into my laptop, move/rename files, then restart the server.
First, I renamed all episodes as 1x001-1x153 and left them in the Season 01 folder. Then I refreshed the metadata for the show using just TMDB. That showed every episode in just one folder, but it named every episode properly. Jellyfin displayed all episodes in a single season this way.
Then I turned the server off, made Season 02-Season 09 folders and split up the episodes accordingly without changing any file names. Rescanned my library and each episode was still named properly and split into season 1-9, but had the episode number from 1-153.
From there I manually edited the metadata for each episode and set the season/episode number for each one. It eventually moved each episode out of season 1 into each according season.
I made sure to lock the metadata after that and I am still seeing everything correct in JF in my browser as well as my Roku.
