Plex is deep in the enshitification process. I'd consider spinning up Jellyfin alongside it so you switch relatively painlessly when you decide that Plex's bullshit has gone too far.
Even if you never reach that point, it'll be useful to have a media server that won't lock you out if you ever lose your Internet connection for an extended period of time
No reason they can't run alongside each other, in case your concerned about resources or storage.
I agree with you; Plex is completely enshittified. Unfortunately, Jellyfin still lacks apps for some platforms, even though they recently added webOS (old versions included) so the situation is slowly getting better.
You can change the settings in Plex and still access it locally without Internet connection. But yeah Plex is kinda behind the curve on a lot of things, although jellyfin has it's own issues
Plex requires an account and that account has to connect to an external Plex authentication server every so often. If that token expires and you have no internet, you will be locked out of your Plex.
You can disable auth on your local network. I've never experienced any issues with my authentication token expiring without having Internet, and I had my Plex server offline for months last year while I was living in a place that didn't have Internet. For some reason though it runs noticeably shittier without Internet, it takes a long time for a video file to load.
I couldnt get jelly to see my external drives
