Feels like plex are heading towards removing sharing media altogether. I wouldn't use it if they removed that functionality.

Same.

I've been pretty happy with Emby as my backup plan.

Jellyfin is Emby minus the cost. Literally a fork of Emby that has far surpassed it at this point. Emby did that thing where they took an open source project and locked it behind a paywall for access, and I won't support the Rent-your-software model.

I'm legitimately curious as to what has changed with Jellyfin, with comparing to Emby, that would make this statement true: "that has far surpassed it at this point"

That's more on the featureset that's available without having to rent it from Emby. Hardware Transcoding, DVR, Live TV, Cinema Intros, Automatic Metadata, Offline Files, that kind of thing.
