I haven't used those apps in a long time, so my experience is pretty dated. PlexAmp is very very good though.

I use Plex for (1) home library, (2) Live TV (HDHomerun), and (3) music (PlexAmp).

(1) Jellyfin is just as capable for home streaming of my home library.
(2) It would take approximately 15 seconds to show my live TV when I switch stations. Plex is almost instant and Plex has ad supported channels similar to a PlutoTV, et. al. I watch Scripps News and NBC Now along side my locals.
(3) There simply is no app as good as PlexAmp.

Finally, setting up Plex for outside access was dead simple, Jellyfin takes some effort.

Yes!! And the active non-toxic community.

Give it some time...

Yes you would have to be listening to an AM station. I almost never listen to the radio, but when I do it is an FM station. The EBS breaks into that when any emergency arises.

Thanks for that. I buy often from Bandcamp and they present lots of formats to download. Space is a concern for me, so I don't go FLAC but wasn't really sure what would be the best lossy format. I'll start giving V0 a shot and see if my bad ears can even tell a difference.

Also, the threat of your instance shutting down and having to migrate to another instance. These are just things most people never had to consider in the past so it seems quite abnormal and "risky".
