It would cost me around $250, is it worth it?
Will it be able to handle it all? Would it be able to handle Jellyfin transcoding if necessary?

Sure. It can take 64GB of RAM and few fast SSD. It has PCI slots so you can upgrade it to multi port NIC or add SAS host controller to connect to DAC.

Just add a small UPS to keep power stable in case of electricity problems.
