Pretty much the only problem is the lack of clients for Jellyfin vs Plex.

Which clients do you see missing, though?

I think this might have been the case when Jellyfin originally forked from Emby, but not so much today.

There is no official support for LG TVs running WebOS 5 or older (which is pretty much any one made before like 2021 or 2022, mine is from 2018), you can add in one if you root the TV, but even in that case it's just a wrapper for the web UI. When Plex forced me to drop them (I had just moved everything to Hetzner), I lost a few users as well since they didn't have clients available for their older TVs. Of course this can easily be remedied by using a streaming stick/STB but the problem still exists.

I believe from last time I checked that it was more an issue of LG not approving the app to be listed rather than it not being available. It being a wrapper makes sense too on the older webOS apps as it's basically a PWA with some JS libs to interact with the TV.

I got a chrome cast because nordvpn didn't have an LG app and the jellyfin client works great on that. Still annoying it's not baked in though.
