I would do a full backup of how it is today and then try it out. What is the worst that could happen?

Yeah, but can it run Multifinder?
I personally would not use it for anything that is being saved on your drive. Using cpu encoder is slower but I just let it run over night or whatever and it will be done later.
Save GPU encoding for when you need it smaller right now like when you are transcoding on the fly.
I generally think that for storage/archiving you should use CPU encoding and only use GPU for things like transcoding where real-time results are crucial.
GPU encoding is a lot worse quality than CPU, and you can’t change the settings to what you want. Better to just accept the extra time requirement to get a better result.
I would try making one video into the format you want and see if it plays where you want it.
I like the interface of Airsonic, but it looks like it hasn’t been updated in 4 years, and Airsonic-advanced hasn’t had any action since February of last year for the experimental branch or 2020 for the stable branch.
What do people use? I tried Navidrome a while back and wasn’t happy for some reason. Should I try it again?
I think that having a strong public domain is good for everyone. For instance properties like Sherlock Holmes really took off once it was in the public domain and people could write spin-offs and whatnot without worry that a copyright lawyer would come along and sue them.
Linux is the same thing, Amazon using the kernel and stuff to build an OS on doesn’t take anything away from anyone else who uses Linux as a desktop or server environment, and in fact can lead to some good pass back, even if it is just that the devices are easier to root. Take a look at the Open-wrt project, where Linksys built their router on top of a Linux kernel and it led to a whole ecosystem of open routers. People went out of their way to buy a WRT-42G just with the intent of rooting it, and Linksys got their money either way.
Tdarr is great if you are comfortable setting up a Docker environment. It is a great way to reprocess your whole library.
A good GUI alternative is Handbrake. It uses a different library than ffmpeg but can do the same stuff. One thing about Handbrake to remember is that it is centered around video encoding. So while ffmpeg can process your audio streams without touching the video stream, Handbrake will reencode video every time.

Mom was very specific that she wanted you to call yourFriends()

It’s missing on purpose. There is not enough room for grains.
