You can run the OIDC version and use SSO and implement MFA on the IdP. I use Keycloak for SSO w/ MFA and users sign into my Jellyfin via Keycloak. Just disable username/password auth and leave it SSO only.
The only benefit Plex really has is the relaying, but I was able to sync watch with 3 people basically as far across North America as you can get from me and it worked without issue so...
That's fine for browser-based watching, literally no one in my group watches via the browser. Even on android it'd be a fight. Grandma's not going to go on to a browser to auth her session.
The clients need to support it. If it were just backend, I'd fork it myself.
Neither do I - I use either my phone, or my smart TV, or my fire stick. SSO works fine there, or you can use the QR based session transfer to SSO on your phone and then "sign in on another device" or whatever by scanning the QR your other device is showing. I think they call it quick connect or something.
It does what you want.
And if you think Grandma can't figure out scanning a QR code, Grandma is also not gonna figure out MFA lol.
