I haven't used OpenMediaVault, so I can't recommend it to you. But I have used Truenas Scale.
What I can say about it is that its strength is in storing media by taking advantages of what the ZFS filesystem provides.
It does have Docker support so you can run applications on it, but as a whole, you trade some freedoms as you're restricted by the GUI to what it lets you do.
Another thing about it is that permissions usually is a thing that a lot of people get stuck on. If you don't know your way around Linux permissions/ACLs, you will probably run into issues related to these on Truenas.
I have my Jellyfin server running on a TN Scale server, and it works fine for me. However, we don't recommend running Jellyfin on it due to ZFS not being ideal for a program like Jellyfin to be ran on.
You get some performance penalties by doing so. You can negate/lower some of them by running Jellyfin's config and cache directories on a dataset stored on an SSD though.
