I've been using Flauncher as the replacement dash for years on all my android TVs and Chromecasts

It makes a massive difference and I strongly recommend it
Would I be able to watch Plex with this? (Haven't made the switch to jellyfin yet)
Don't see why not. It's just a front end launcher. If you can install the app...this will launch it.
PS: I like Jellyfin but I'm a fan of Nova-Player too. Simpler is sometimes better.
