which generation NUC for jellyfin (alien.top)

I have a small Ryzen-based server that's functioning as my NAS as well as hosting various docker services. However, I wanted to start doing more with Jellyfin and my server doesn't have a GPU for transcoding. I was consider getting an Intel NUC anyhow because I wanted to have some dedicated hardware to run a hypervisor like Proxmox, so I figure I'll run Jellyfin as a VM and it can pull from my NAS server where the video files are stored.

I'm curious what kind of specs I should be looking for on a NUC and which generation? Here's some of my rough requirements:

Running Proxmox with maybe a handful of VMs
Jellyfin transcoding for no more than 3 simultaneous users, and in reality, 1 on average
Typically prefer more modern, power-efficient hardware

Anything with Kaby Lake is good enough, with Tiger Lake it's even better. So if you look for used PC should choose at least Core i3 8th Gen, or Gemini Lake like Celeron J4125. New purchase just go for N100, basically unbeatable.
