You could also have radarr move files into a to-encode directory after download+unpack, then have something like handbrake re-encode things in that dir, having that output completed re-encodes into the Jellyfin dir - or, maybe a radarr imoort dir that does not do re-encoding?
The details are fuzzy to me at the moment but the important part is to insert handbrake somewhere in the pipeline. You could also come up with your own ffmpeg script but I find handbrake super easy to use.
I've been looking into those. There's also unmanic.
But the server is a raspberry pi, so making it convert stuff would take a while. It'd be a lot more efficient to just download stuff in the right format in the first place. (But apparently all the torrent seeders are super video quality archival nerds, so this might not be realistic.)

I just learned there is something called tdarr which probably fits into the arr stack well

Understood, that is a good point. Edit: which I should have read from your post in the first place (sorry)
