What scenarios does a home server need a GPU? (alien.top)

I want to host security cameras and a plex server. Does this mean that my server needs a GPU? (Or would benefit from one). I heard plex does fine with just a CPU

I use Jellyfin which is similar to Plex. I have it on a Raspberry Pi 4 8 GB. It's perfectly fine if I'm sending H264 but most modern browsers do not support H265 so it forces the server to transcode. That will consume almost all processing power if it's CPU-only and is a very slow process.

Using their desktop client is a solution.
