What benefits does navidrome provide as a separate music server if jellyfin can host your music already?
I can only tell you that personally I'm interested in trying out Navidrome because I don't like all my eggs in one basket (Jellyfin is more complex sw for sure too) and I think I'm not the only one caring more about my music collection than movies and tv. But I did try Jellyfin for music (not with my main library) and it works very well, Finamp on android has offline mode which I find almost essential.
Does Jellyfin do smart playlists yet?
Edit: There seems to be a plugin. So, now it's just about the fact that I already have it set up the way I want, and that I don't wanna put all my eggs in the same basket. But I guess using Jellyfin for music is totally viable now.
Jellyfin can’t even do smart collections of TV and movies
