I'm assuming the reason trickplay files are stored in the config folder now is because they get cleaned out if their respective media doesn't exist anymore.
With the old method of storing it with the media files, if you deleted or renamed a video, the old bif file would be left behind.
Eventually, if you delete/rename a lot of videos on your server, you'd have a lot of useless bif files taking up some space for no reason.
I even wrote a script that would periodically go through my libraries to find and delete left-over bif files (I also stored them with my media files) since Jellyfin couldn't do this.
With the way it is now, you don't have to worry about that. The trickplay files now get deleted by Jellyfin when it detects they're not needed anymore.
