I have the same experience. SQLite has been a source of most Jellyfin problems, and Jellyfin has more problems than the rest of the ~ 150 containers I run regularly.

A stateless design where a stateless jellyfin server talks to a postgres database would be simpler and more robust.

Yeah, honestly I’m kind of thinking about a media server architecture that has a stateless media server that vends links to pre-transcoded media in object storage (which video players would source from), since pretty much anything can handle mp4/h264/acc video. Maybe in the future I could add on some on-the-fly transcoding (which would happen on a dedicated cluster, reading and writing to object storage), but that seems like a pretty big undertaking.
