Does "GT 710 doesn't support NVENC" mean that adding the older GPU wouldn't do anything to provide a performance boost to the server? Or only for videos encoded in a specific way? I.e. is there any point in keeping my passively-cooled GT710 in my server or should I just ditch it?

It's too old to help with transcoding, I'm afraid, so probably won't aid your server in any way.

Well, shucks.

What do you think would be the minimum entry-point to adding a GPU then? I'm reluctant to adding a full sized double/triple-fan current gen GPU to the server because I don't want to increase its idle draw beyond reason.

easiest is just to get a newer intel i3 with iGPU.

transcodes everything and is very fast at it as well with quicksync. and uses a low amount of power.

This, or even the new N100 chip. The Beelink pcs on amazon are a good option if yod use external storage. Also, there is this page with a lot of info: Server Transcode Info

Thanks for the suggestion!
I will keep it in mind but it's not very practicable for me right now, unfortunately, as I'm not looking to replace my whole server setup, I was only looking for a possible upgrade path for the Jellyfin VM on my ESXi server via an empty pcie slot.
