I have stopped using this some time ago (switched to Jellyseerr). If you figure out what's wrong - let me know and I'll update the snippet.
Does jellyseerr have better support for SSO or why did you end up not using this anymore?

It does. There is a PR (not yet merged) that adds a proper OIDC support. Even though it is not merged - the preview image built with it works just fine.
The image in question:
docker.io/fallenbagel/jellyseerr:preview-OIDC
P.S. I’ve also moved away from Plex to Jellyfin.
