I would recommend you look into Saltbox, which seems to align with what you are looking to do and should take considerable heavy lifting off your plate.
The solution to the rclone issues you discuss is to use a union mount, and cloudplow or similar to automatically shift files to the long term storage location, while Jellyfin will continue to see content files spread around servers in one mount location.

I concur with the above.
Great example and synopsis. Much appreciated!
It does.
(You can say the same about existing socialist democratic policies, too.)
It's just indoctrination.
People believe what they are taught, and relatively few questions anything seriously.
The majority of people continue to believe the religion they were raised in.
The majority of people believe in the economic system they were raised in.
The majority of the world's countries use mixes of capitalist & socialist policies (ie free-market economies with social safety net programs).
So most people support capitalist free-market systems, and would say they are pro-capitalism.
They also don't want you to cut their retirement government program levels.
And though most won't claim to support socialism, they love firefighters or libraries or roads, and they can't tell there's no difference. Because they aren't taught to question.
And most don't want to replace their existing systems with completely different systems. They just want them to provide better tesults and be less costly.
Religion is most effective at converting those more inclined to believe propaganda & appeals to authority.
So these dichotomies are even worse & more prevalent for the religious.
Those people breed children of mostly similar sentiment. If raised capitalist, those religious children won't question the obvious conflict. Their authorities tell them it's ok.
Their authorities may even modify the religion to fit the mold (ie Prosperity Gospel).
The religious authorities who suggest questioning existing systems receive pushback from followers and the system itself when they encourage critical thinking regarding the conflicts of capitalism and religion.
Examples include Martin Luther King Jr & the current Pope, both of whom were not well received with their criticisms of capitalism.
So again, it is just indoctrination with a sprinkling of ignorance.
