Does this mean I can finally load-balance with multiple Jellyfin instances?

A million years ago, back when I still used Emby, I was annoyed that I couldn't use it across multiple in Docker Swarm due to locking of SQLite. It really annoyed me, enough to where I started (but never completed) a driver to change the DB to postgres [1]. I ended up moving everything over to a single server, which is mostly fine unless I have multiple people transcoding at the same time.

If this is actually fixed then I might have an excuse to rearchitect my home server setup again.

Jellyfin have just gone through a massive refactor and pulled all their data access code into EFCore. This opens the path for supporting different RBDMSs which think is next on their list.
