It depends on whether you are willing to trade storage space for compute. The raspberry pi struggles happen when real-time transcoding is taking place. If you change the settings or pre-transcode everything, then it will easily run on the pi.

If you would rather use compute than storage, then a desktop is a good plan. I run my jellyfin on my desktop and use cloudflare tunnel for making it available online as needed. That said, me and my family are the only users of my instance, so access through the internet is not the primary way. I only set that up for when we are traveling.
