Nothing is hard when you know what you're doing. :)
Being able to completely wipe your compute machine and not worry is nice and imo easier.
For only Jellyfin, then I agree - if that is where it stops you could run it all on an N100 integrated motherboard and have a lean sleek system that hosts your files and your streaming server. But when your services starts being too much for the N100 then it's nice to separate it a bit and for me it feels natural to split it between compute/storage.
Yes, I have a single machine where most of my storage is. I host my jellyfin server there, as well as all the home directories for all the users of my systems. Login to any system in the house and you always have the same desktop and data. If I want to replace a system, reinstall or distro hop. It's just a few lines to copy into fstab and a few apps/flatpaks to download at most.
