I almost always use subtitles and also pause quite a lot. I have never seen subtitle desync with neither version (official native hls or hls.js). And I would have noticed if that had happened. I have seen that issue in Github before you mentioned it, but I still have not seen it happen. I do not fast forward or rewind much though. But pause is used quite a lot.
To me profile 8 has worked fine with .ts container when using native hls (and only with .ts). With hls.js it requires fMP4. That's not why I recommend enabling hls.js on WebOS.
The thing is that remuxing is completely useless feature if it makes multichannel audio to be just stereo. The thing that in some relatively rare cases subtitle sync might break if you repeatedly pause, fast forward or rewind is quite small issue. Also it seems that freezing fast forwarding is as common as subtitle issue, but on the contary my version fixes that while it is present when using .ts containers with native hls.
That audio delay issue is another issue, but it seems to be completely different bug in Jellyfin or ffmpeg and not related to hls.js or WebOS. I might be wrong, but I think that having delayed audio in mkv is not common feature (I have encountered such video just once).
