We're talking self hosting, not an enterprise setup. Industry best practices and layers of defense mitigation are not realistic expectations for something like a media server that is only intended to be accessed by the owner and maybe a couple other people.
I disagree: self hosting and enterprise are not mutually exclusive. In fact, "enterprise on-prem" is the marketing description for self-hosting. I do not accept any definition of self-hosting that gate-keeps to any degree.
It is incongruous to talk about "only home self-hosting" or "only enterprise on-prem" when it comes to security mitigations, threat modeling, and risk management: it is merely a question of scale.
Sure, the user base for a home setup might be single digits, but the attackers are identically situated: their capabilities do not grow or shrink based on whether they are targeting a bank or a Jellyfin server.
