From a hardware perspective, this is easily feasible. The new Intel Arc cards, for example, are very capable transcoders, and relatively affordable. The iGPUs on many Intel CPUs are also quite capable.
For a home server, your biggest bottleneck for remote streaming is likely to be your residential ISP's upload speed. For any given stream, you'll need roughly the bitrate of the stream plus 10 to 20% overhead in your upstream bandwidth. So two 10mbps streams would require roughly 25mbps upload, give or take. So bear that in mind as you plan this out.
But hardware requirements for a Jellyfin server do not need to be that steep.
