So, I've also recently had a problem with my playlists vanishing after migrating my library. With a little help from ChatGPT, it seems the xml files at jellyfin/data/playlists get written after the fact, and are also stored in the library.db file under the 'data' column of the TypedBaseItems table.
Going back to my old (known working) library.db, I was able to find a json blob containing my playlist details and dump it to a .json file, change the path of each file in the blob to the location on the new server, then restored that file on my new Jellyfin server for a playlist of the same name, and it worked!
Since I suspect I'll encounter this issue again in the future, I wrote a couple scripts to help the process along a little; I've posted them to my github in case it helps someone else: https://github.com/gotkube/jellyfin-playlist-dump
