On TVs and my computer monitors, it doesn't make a difference. But most phones today have an aspect ratio around 21:9. Including my Pixel 6a. Leaving the black bars in results in the video not filling the screen if the movie is wider than 16:9. Which is not ideal on an already small screen. I stopped leaving black bars in my rips almost from the get go when I was still using Plex. So I don't know if Jellyfin allows zoom to fill or something like that.
From an encoding efficiency standpoint, I know there is little to no gain from removing them.
