While technically not strictly necessary, it adds more robust authentication methods, and makes it easier to build out other apps if you want to in the future without having to re-do the sign-in process for all of your users. You can have things like 2fa and other things that make it harder for bots to get in and easier for users to stay in. It also makes it easier to keep track of login attempts and notice compromised accounts.

Can authentik pass through the authentication to Jellyfin, or do you just log in twice?

It can pass through. There is even an official Authentik guide on the various methods specifically for Jellyfin: integrations.goauthentik.io/…/jellyfin/
