You could re-encode your collection to something that doesn't need transcoding.
Instead of a raid mirror, you might consider an offline backup array. It's more tedious, but it is safer for your data and may free up enough PCIe for a GPU.
Also, I don't know what all you intend to do with this server of yours, but you don't necessarily need to use CPU lanes for the sata ports. They should be fine running through the chipset for something like Jellyfin.
