Plex is Plex, and Jellyfin is Jellyfin. A lot of aspects of Jellyfin's scanner are inherited from Emby when we forked. Not many have been brave enough to attempt to fix the scanner.
I've stated how I think you could ensure consistent identification. We also have documentation here.

If that is too much of an administrative burden, well......I highly doubt the Jellyfin scanner is going to be changed anytime soon. If the devs knew how to improve it they would have done so already. But my cursory glance has determined that the way the devs have described it to me, "a nightmare piece of code", is an apt description.
