The Pi4 can only handle so much traffic, and yes you need a high speed, high bandwidth to stream videos.
I run an old 2 core / 4 thread mini computer for my Jellyfin server, and we watch 4 movies at once with no issues, but we also have high speed unlimited internet.
Of you keep the videos in h264 format with acc audio, you server doesn't need to transcode on the fly, so it would take a lot of processing power, just bandwidth.
