The problem is Jellyfins androidtv client.
Under Windows or Linux the Clients MPV/Jellyfin Media Player it is using libass to render subtitles.
That is not available under jellyfin androidtv client(native exoplayer). I think the rework of the Androidtv client will fix that eventually but don't hold you breath.
I would recommend install MPV and VLC on androidtv device and set the Jellyfin player to "external player" and select either libVLC or MPV.
If that is not an option for you, you can force transcoding which will burn in the subtitles server side.
