For transcoding use RAMDISK, so you don't wear your ssd out. I don't know if it exists on Ubuntu because I use Windows.
For storage, use a big HDD to store just the files(movies, series, music, pictures etc.), you can find higher capacity for same money compared to ssd.
There might be a lot of cache taking up a lot of space if you have many devices and many users with many devices.
The easiest video format on hardware is probably HEVC, x265 in mkv. AV1 is fine if the server and all clients have AV1 support. Make sure the gpu is being utilized for the transcoding and all settings are correct in jellyfin host. Hope I touched upon all stuff
