As for SSD endurance, this isn't a concern. Even when lots of transcoding is happening. I forget what is called on Windows, but there are tools to display the S.M.A.R.T. stats of your SSD. I had an old SSD that I used to run Jellyfin on. It was my gaming desktop's primary SSD for almost 10 years, I repurposed it for my Jellyfin server, and over the 15 years I've had the SSD only 2% drive life was used.
Here are the stats for my current SSD.
