But recently PLEX says they will be blocking Hetzner hosting in the next few weeks. I’ve been considering moving to Jellyfin for a while, but I’m worried they will do the same thing in future.

Jellyfin: Completely autonomous of anything outside.
Plex: Authenticates with Plex servers so you need an external account

Jellyfin is a fully self-sufficient software not calling outside.

From their website literally on the homepage:
