I just made a domain name for all of my local network services. Each service gets a subdomain that resolves to a local IP address, so like jellyfin.mydomain.com -> 10.x.x.x. Then just do DNS validation with letsencrypt. Boom, valid cert.

FWIW if you want to run your Jellyfin on the public internet, you can use NAT hairpinning in your local network and have that subdomain resolve to your public IP, and still access it from within your network :).

Correct, that's what I do as well. I meant if you actually use 10.x.x.x:8096 to access your Jellyfin instance
