Assuming the user will not be connecting over vpn, but is both remote and non-technical, how would you expose Jellyfin to them securely?

Possibly mTLS, which you'd configure in your reverse proxy. You could email them the certificate and instructions on installing it. I believe for Chromium browsers on Windows you basically just double click the cert and click through the wizard. Firefox I know has a thing in the settings for importing the cert. Android you just tap on the cert and make sure it opens with 'Certificate Installer' if it gives you the option.
