Depending on the size/amount of media you have for Jellyfin, that can very well be normal.
Considering you took off around 90GB in trickplays alone, it does sound like that's normal.
Keep in mind that at default settings, a single trickplay file for a 24min show usually takes around 1MB-3MB. A 2 hour-long movie's trickplay usually takes around 5MB-8MB.
So to get to 90GB, you need a very large library, which makes me assume 60GB for the metadata alone is normal.
I would also like to point out that transcodes get temporarily saved in your transcode folder.
Transcodes can take up as much space as the original video (and even more in certain cases).
If you run out of space by transcoding, at best the transcode will fail. At worst, if your database lives on the same drive that ran out of space, you pretty much risk a corrupted database.
