I guess its as the title asks, is it worth hosting Jellyfin if you already have a DLNA server set up?

Yes and no.

I prefer Jellyfin for watching on desktop and iphone because it’s got a much nicer UI than plain DLNA for exploring my library.

For watching through my LG TV, I use DLNA because the TVs web browser is a shittier UI than its native media player.

I would love a good Jellyfin client for LG TVs.

You can install the jellyfin app for older versions of LG WebOS, but you have to build and install it from a computer. Aside from that minor inconvenience, the app is pretty great.

Do you know if the same is true for Samsung Tizen? I tried to install latest but it failed - was already planning on picking up a Fire stick to run it.

I don't know about tizen, but in my experience, the fire stick is pretty shit at running jellyfin. Have had good experiences with Roku devices though.
