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?

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.
