I used to have a jellyfin server on an old desktop but now my only spare computer is a raspberry pi. It should be able to install the app but would a raspberry pi 3b+ actually be able to run a jellyfin server at a usable level? I'll probably mainly use it for CD rips, so it shouldn't be super demanding but the raspberry pi isn't super powerful either. What do y'all think?

If you aren't relying on transcoding, you're good. I am sure it can handle one or maybe even two streams. Most modern devices can decode H.264 and H.265/HEVC easily, and some even AV1. Watching videos with these codecs on any Smart TV or phone won't give you a hard time.
