Doing a search of Android TV in this forum, I see a lot of missing features including not having "admin" functions that's otherwise available in the "Android" client. Know any plans/projects on simply replacing this app with an app that would be based on the web client (like most other clients as you mentioned)?There's most likely no plans to do this.
The Android TV is specially designed to be used on a TV, so it has it's own UI.
Unless they come out saying otherwise, the devs are not going to focus a lot on adding admin functionality for a TV app. That's just an uncomfortable client type to manage a server.
Jellyfin server management is mainly to be done on a web browser.
The reason you can manage the server on the Android phone app is because it's using a web wrapper for the Jellyfin Web UI and is "not custom built" for a phone like the Android TV app is built for a TV.
