Dedicated music server or all-in-one media server? (lemmy.zip)

I see that when people ask for music servers, people frequently suggest Navidrome or mpd/mopidy. I haven't tried either. I'm just using Jellyfin as an all-in-one. I'm wondering why do people choose to use a dedicated music server over an all-in-one like Jellyfin?

Is the extra overhead worth it?

Do One Thing Well: Each program should focus on a single task and perform it effectively.

At the moment im not hosting a music server, but used to use Navidrome, it worked fine and used a small footprint.

Having all in one it's more issues to solve, if something breaks, everything breaks.
Having all on Jellyfin is more convenient.

But adding hundreds or thousands of songs along with movies and episodes will create a huge database, more resources used, slower searches
