There isn't a Pi that isn't good enough for pi-hole.

More than. I was running adguard "hole" on a 2B over ethernet, a 3B is going to have computing power to spare for additional tasks if you so choose
I ran PiHole for a year on a Pi Zero W, before I eventually had to move my DNS server outside the network due to other requirements

And what about installing this plus Jellyfin or something similar?
I used to run Plex on a 3b+ and it couldn't handle transcoding at a reasonable quality - jellyfin would presumably be fine as long as whatever device you are streaming from can handle your native file format (my library was x265, so I had to use the Plex desktop app because Firefox doesn't support x265 and required transcoding)
Probably not. 3Bs are pretty old.
The 3b+ can stream 3 local direct streams without issues so long as there's no container translations i.e. no HVEC or x265.
Plenty reasonable with a 1080p only Radarr/Sonarr setup.
(This was my experience with Plex on a 3b+ for many years at least, I'd be surprised if Jellyfin were any different.)
I just recommend disabling logging so it doesn't kill your SD card with unnecessary writes.
Yes it is
Most definitely.
Yeah. I’ve been running a Pi Hole on a 3B for nearly 8 years now. The thing’s a champ
Absolutely. In fact, you'll have processing overhead to spare on a 3 B+.
