I want to unlock the ability to view content on my mobile device. I can do that with a one-time purchase (payed with google opinion rewards) or with a subscription. I want to unlock the ability for my entire family though, across multiple devices. Do I have to pay the "one-time payment" for every device? If so, the plex subscription might be worth it. Is there any other major benefit to having a plex subscription?

For me, it's worth it for the doubled bitrate over the PLEX proxy. I'll probably be moving out of my parents' home next year into an apartment complex, and can't guarantee that I'll be able to set up port forwarding on the ntwork.

Just use Cloudflared then, no need to port forward. Or use a VPN with port forwarding and a dynamic dns

Note that Plex is against Cloudflare's ToS. No guarantee they will terminate your account, but it's a risk.

Could also consider Tailscale.
