Definitely don't do this.
The CPU on the RPi and the narrow PCIe interface will severely hinder your GPU's transcoding performance. Also remember that audio transcoding is performed on the CPU. A RPi doesn't have enough CPU performance, memory bandwidth, or PCIe bandwidth to properly run a jellyfin server with media that requires any amount of transcoding.
The better option would be to get a bottom SKU, 12th gen and newer Intel CPU, like an i3 12100 or Intel N100/300.
