No hacker with any skill is going to bother going after us small fries. Only low effort script kiddies looking for unpatched Windows 7/XP machines.
As long as you have Caddy in front of Jellyfin, use https with legit certs, keep everything up-to-date, and hide user names from the login screen you should be safe. If there is a hypothetical zero day someone could use to hack into your server, this hypothetical hacker is going to reserve that resource for mega corps and government agencies and not risk it on some dude running a Jellyfin server.
One thing that a lot of people overlook are proper file folder permissions, mainly on Linux. Users have a tendency to just "777" everything instead of learning Linux permissions.
