I have a similar issue. I am running Jellyfin in docker on my Intel based OMV machine. Local direct play/transcoding is flawless but I have stuttering via remote transcoding regardless of quality. I am using a wireguard VPN to stream remotely but I have also used NGINX proxy manager with the same problem.
For me the issue is not consistent though. It usually only buffers around 9 PM - 12 AM where I am. I suspect what's happening is the traffic is being throttled somewhere between my house and my parents house. With Plex I believe traffic bounces through their servers somewhere and I don't think that traffic is throttled. Just a theory though since I've been troubleshooting this issue for a year now with no answers.
