You shouldn’t be opening up access to your Jellyfin server to the internet, that’s why.
Not only are there known vulnerabilities that can, and will, be abused by bad actors (Not even humans, automated systems). But it also provides a convenient way for media entities & your ISP to target you in mass piracy crackdowns.
Nevermind the undisclosed or unknown vulnerabilities that may be exposed by Jellyfin.
Having it behind a VPN protects you and your media.
Likely upnp or nat-pnp. Enabling "Enable automatic port mapping"within Jellyfin will accomplish the same thing without needing a paid Plex subscription.
But I was mistaken on which features were locked behind the paywall. They charge for hardware transcoding but it sounds like sharing doesn’t require the subscription.
Plex is also a much better music player/streamer if you have plex pass with plexamp. Jellyfin’s audio renderer is pitifully bad by default, and only marginally better if you modify the factory file to use something like MPC-HC. Also, Jellyfin’s album and artist sorting is pretty mid.
I’m guessing Symfonium doesn’t have custom DJ modes and automatic music mixes based on your local library and past listening habits? Their website doesn’t mention.
The DJ modes and track/album radio and artist mixes are what sold me on Plexamp.
No need to use Plex

How so? You can use tailscale/wireguard or just port forward to remotely access.

Port forwarding doesn’t require VPN.
Does Plex Sharing not open up ports either manually or via UPnpP?

Plex sharing also opens up the ports, and is what the user is using already.

Just use Jellyfin with Symfonium
