If you mean switching the Mac to running Ubuntu, yes. IIRC, jellyfin-ffmpeg does not support hardware accelerated transcoding on Intel Macs. Switch that to Linux and you're golden. The CPU in your Mac has a supported model iGPU for pretty decent transcoding support and performance.
Other than that, your setup is fine for your needs as long as you make the switch to Ubuntu/Debian/<insert Debian based distro>.
