Comment on Internet upload speeds on self-hosted Jellyfin/Plex Servers?

You can get away with a pretty low bitrate for most. As others have said, set the egress upload limit in the app to whatever you prefer, and just be ready to transcode.
Never charge for access to your server in any way. That is officially 100% illegal. If you can’t do it without charging, you can’t do it

Yeah I wasn’t planning on charging. Legality aside, it’s just a shitty thing to do.

I share mine with about a dozen friends and family, and some have offered to pay me. I didn’t think about it being illegal (although, of course it is) but the reason I wouldn’t charge is that I don’t want anyone having expectations about it working. It’s worked smoothly for about a year, and if it breaks I’ll fix it on my own time.
