You don't have to burn in the subs to all of your videos. That's what transcoding is for. The subs should get burned into the video if they're not supported on the ATV app by default (unless you disabled transcoding permissions which seems like you did).
Check these out for the reason LibVLC was removed:

Support for ASS subtitles will come in the future (no estimated timeframe).
There will be work done to have the current video player (ExoPlayer) in the ATV app to support ASS subs.

You could use them as long the media direct plays, but we're talking about ASS subs here (they don't have major support in a lot of video players).

Then use either Jellyfin Media Player or MPV Shim to direct play ASS subs (they both use MPV which supports ASS subs).
