An mkv with multiple audio tracks would save you some storage space.
Yes, however sometimes it's easier to manage language and subtitles in a single file if space is not an issue and you often are wanting a different version. Might also have pre-burned subtitles, for which you'll need a separate video stream anyway.
This too, yes. ๐ฏ
Not if I want/need to seed both versions. Then it's a third version I need to keep on disk for a few weeks, instead of just two. Believe me, I've had this idea too, and have remuxed several movies to save space. ๐
Looking back at this thread. Jellyfin does let you select both versions and combine them into one. Then you can keep seeding to your heart's content.
I don't use that feature often, but have a couple movies that use it.
That's simpler and better (nondestructive) than renaming files, for sure. Still an extra step I need to take vs not having to do so.
Fair enough, I'm mostly ripping my own discs so being a good torrent citizen isn't always top of mind.
