I have a TV from 2019, it surely flies on that. Compared to Plex anyway, with its 1–2s just to move a square outline from one movie poster to another movie poster, same hardware, same library. It's ridiculous. Jellyfin master race.
Also curious what kind of bugs you are encountering? I haven't seen any as of yet. Maybe one, where you are sometimes unable to back out of playing media with the remote back button and have to aim-click it with the cursor and middle button. Other than that I haven't seen anything else.
I've got a newer TV from 2021 and it's great. On an older one from 2015 it surely does not.
Outside the latency, the biggest problem I have is matching shows to their metadata. Anything Disney related (Hocus Pocus, for instance) wants to tie itself to something totally random. Some anime (Frieren) refused to recognize the second season and keeps matching episodes to Season 01 titles/screenshots.
It's not the end of the world, but it's annoying and cumbersome. I've heard Sonarr/Radarr integration help, but then I'm down a rabbit hole of apps to support apps to support apps.
I just want something seamless and out of the box to organize my digital library, not a second job doing IT work to support a miniature Netflix.
Huh. Guess I'm lucky that I haven't run into these issues. No latency issues either, but I'm only using it on my local network anyway so I guess I'm gucci because of that fact.
