I turned my streaming stick into a dumb app launcher, and that's all it should be

Would I be able to watch Plex with this? (Haven't made the switch to jellyfin yet)
Yes - it replaces the launcher (your home page, I guess you could say), but you can still download apps from the Google App Store and use them (such as Plex).
I have used FLauncher and now use Projectivity, and it is a great way to get rid of all the ads and bloat while keeping the TV fully functional.
Don't see why not. It's just a front end launcher. If you can install the app...this will launch it.
PS: I like Jellyfin but I'm a fan of Nova-Player too. Simpler is sometimes better.

just a warning about jelly is that you have to setup your own home host site. plex already comes with one it youre hoping to listen to your music on the go.
