when reading through the jellyfin with chromecast guide i realized that it would probably be less effort to just let the casting api be public, with the added bonus that i could then cast my library to any device that supports it. but that seems like it would paint a giant target on the server.

what's the recommended way of doing stuff like this? ideally i want to be able to go to someone's house and just play some of my media on their tv.

not that any of this is doable in the near future, since i'm behind cgnat and won't get my colocated bounce server up until spring.

My workaround will be to get a Chromecast or anything castable, a travel router (probably gli.net), setup a VPN and use that.

Any other device that's outside of my home is unable to open a connection due to authelia intercepting the connection and the client unable to understand that.

A VPN is the best option. You should be able to split-tunnel your jellyfin traffic and still see the device on the LAN.

i was sort of asking the opposite question to this answer, i think.
