Personally, I would not go with this. If you plan to run jellyfin on windows then 8GB would not be enough to deal with the IO and memory pressure. It could work if you go ahead and run your server on linux but windows, specially windows 11 would eat most of that 8 GB RAM.
Another reason I would not go with this PC is because I just would not able to easily upgrade/replace parts in this compact form-factor.
I'd personally go for something like this - https://www.ebay.com/itm/256539084185 Or any workstation or server.
It's so easy to swap hardware components when they go bad on a typical workstation or server and you don't even need a screwdriver to do these things... And it's so simple to upgrade things when you hit your current machine's limit without investing in another computer altogether.

And most workstations support upto 4 or sometime 8 SATA storage-bays and sometimes a couple of M2/M3 storage interfaces thrown in for good measure... So you never need to have deal with a mess of external HDDs connected over slow-ass USB3 wires.
