I have both but Jellyfin is not good with duplicates. Having several versions of movies in different languages just puts multiple copies of the movies in Jellyfin, with no distinction between them until you click into the details. Plex does this well with “Play version”.
But Plex is worse for other reasons, on my LG TV. It’s painfully slow and doesn’t play the correct audio track that I select.
Yes, however sometimes it’s easier to manage language and subtitles in a single file if space is not an issue and you often are wanting a different version. Might also have pre-burned subtitles, for which you’ll need a separate video stream anyway.
Not if I want/need to seed both versions. Then it’s a third version I need to keep on disk for a few weeks, instead of just two. Believe me, I’ve had this idea too, and have remuxed several movies to save space. 👍

An mkv with multiple audio tracks would save you some storage space.

This too, yes. 🎯

Fair enough, I’m mostly ripping my own discs so being a good torrent citizen isn’t always top of mind.
