If this is only going to be running Jellyfin, you could get away with a cheaper CPU since you have the A380 for transcoding. If your budget isn't a concern, the 5600 is more than enough.
Something to keep in mind, the current version of Unraid is using Linux Kernel 6.1.99. Arc requires kernel version 6.2+. Since Docker containers and LXC's use the host's kernel, they would be affected as well. You'd have to run a VM within Unraid so that you can run a different Linux distro with its own kernel. And that adds more overhead and complexity
IMO, stick with a Debian based Linux distro. Running Docker on the command line is not that much different from Unraid's UI.
