Hardware recommendations still up to date?

I don't quite understand, I have a lot more issues with my new setup than my old (not Jellyfin recommended) one.
old setup:
- Running v10.9.11 on Tuxedo laptop with Ubuntu 24.04.1 in Docker containers
- Ryzen 8845HS (Radeon 780M iGPU)
- 32GB RAM
- 4TB m.2 SSD that has both the OS and the media on it
- Not connected with ethernet cable, hosting on WiFi (about 200/300 Mbit on average)

Nothing done in terms of hardware acceleration, it was all CPU powered & out of the box Jellyfin container, no configuration done.
No noise issues or CPU that has high load while playing media.
Resuming an episode would not desync subtitles(or only for the first subtitle line after resuming and get back in sync at the next line).
Casting to Chromecast through Jellyfin app was flawless with no stuttering.

new setup:
- Running v10.10.2 on Ubuntu Server 24.04.1 in Docker containers
- Intel i5 12500 with UHD Graphics 770 iGPU
- 16GB RAM
- 500GB SSD for OS
- 6TB WD Red Pro for media
- connected with 1Gbit ethernet cable

High CPU usage/noise and subtitle desync issues out of the box with no configuration when resuming the same media file as on old setup.
Extra configuration to get Intel Quicksync going, lowered CPU usage/noise but still has subtitle desync issues when playing through the browser.
Casting episode from Jellyfin app to chromecast makes the episode freeze/hang for a few seconds and then play a little bit, freeze again, and play a little bit.
Resuming an episode on Jellyfin app itself has desynced subtitles.


There has to be something that I'm not configuring correctly that has a big influence on the Jellyfin setup that should be running smoother than the old AMD one. Else I'm really going to regret buying a dedicated Jellyfin Intel build


edit:
Switching subtitles in this episode from Undefined - SUBRIP- External to English - PGSSUB makes subtitles sync up again with the video, that's at least one big relief.
I'll test the casting from the jellyfin app some more this afternoon and hopefully it was just a fluke before.
