So if you're going through the trouble of setting up proxmox, I would setup the majority of the storage in a ZFS pool for a TrueNAS SMB share/NFS share. Then create a small container just to host jellyfin and jellyfin's cache--maybe commit 10GB of storage to it--really depends on how big your media library is. Mine is about 5TB and cache, metadata, and other misc things take up about 8GB.
Setting up your share is enough for jellyfin. Since the media and jellyfin are stored on the same metal, additional latency will be sub 100ms. Create a library in Jellyfin and set it to the share;
Movies: \\nas\Movies,TV: \\nas\TV, etc.Works flawlessly and would have more utility than allocating the entirety of your storage to your jellyfin container because it functions as a normal NAS. I've been running with a setup like this for a while and it works great.
Are you suggesting creating a TrueNAS VM? Wouldn't that be the same as what I'm doing now with creating an image in the ZFS pool?
I would separate the media and the Jellyfin image into different pools. Media would be a normal ZFS pool full of media files that gets mounted into any VM that needs it, like Jellyfin, sonarr, radarr, qbittorrent, etc. (preferably read-only mounted in Jellyfin if you’re going to expose Jellyfin to the internet).
