Is putting it behind an Oauth2 proxy and running the server in a rootless container enough?

What’s your go too (secure) method for casting over the internet with a Jellyfin server.
I’m wondering what to use and I’m pretty beginner at this
Unifi teleport. A zero configuration VPN to my home network.
I’m fidgeting with Tailscale but I find this solution some what lacking

Tailscale + Caddy (automatic certificates FTW).
no idea how safe or secure but i use cloudflare tunnel to point my jellyfin port on my computer

I'm trying to self host navidrome in docker with a cloudflare domain and reverse proxy on the same network. Still fiddling myself since I keep getting a 403 cloudflare no access error.
Essentially, using cert provided by cloudflare where they proxy to my ip. From there the reverse proxy routes to my service. If I'm understanding it right, anyone with my domain would only see cloudflare ip instead of my own. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. I'm still learning this stuff as well.
Prior to this, I was using tailscale which worked fine but I'd have to connect via tailscale everytime and some instances, it wouldn't connect properly at all.
My router has a VPN server built-in. I usually use that.
With wireguard i set up an easy VPN, then vpn to the home network and use jellyfin.
If i cant use vpn, i have Jellyfin behind a caddy server with automatic https and some security settings.
OpenVPN into my own LAN. Stream from there to my device.
I use LSIO container stack so SWAG for the proxy. They have really good documentation and active discord docs.linuxserver.io
Pangolin with Newt and CrowdSec on a VPS hosted in Europe, domain registered through cloudflare.
