It does play but it not directly the corresponding file as suggested by the direct path setting in MPV shim and other posts I came across but rather casting it resulting in quite the tremendous overhead (opening the file with MPV: 25% CPU usage, casting it to MPV shim: 95% CPU and microstutters).
The reason I asked if is supported in current versions is that the MPV shim Git Hub page states "Note that Shared network folder support was deprecated in Jellyfin 10.9, and is no longer exposed in the Jellyfin UI." and while I don't use network folders since it's all local on this one machine I don't know what it actually means in practice.
I also just did some more testing and found out that when starting the video with MPV shim its console states that it couldn't open the file '' which seems to me that it either didn't got a file path from Jellyfin or something failed withing MPV shim and subsequently falling back to casting.
