What's your goal with trying to do all of this?
If your goal is to "debloat" Jellyfin and bring it back to the basics, it's going to end up the same way after you spend days/weeks of 24/7 CPU & GPU utilization rebuilding the metadata such as Trickplay files.
And are you planning on using the backup on different machines? Jellyfin can't automatically choose the correct HWA settings for the machine it's installed on, so you'll have to write a script to automate that for yourself as one machine's correct settings will be the wrong ones on another.
Same concept for adding blank libraries. You need to make sure the library paths remain absolutely the same if you're going to be reusing that.
Installing Jellyfin from scratch is like a 3 to 5 minute task. Configuring it after that is like another 5 minute task once you get familiar with the software.
