I just checked what happens if you use the rename feature in Sonarr / Radarr to cleanup library imports.
Sonarr / Radarr moves the files .bif & manifest from the trickplay folder into the media folder and renames everything, then jellyfin generates new .bif files in the trickplay folder.
This results in duplicate files and overhead.
Personally I would prefer it much more if the .bif files would be in the media folder from the beginning, removing the trickplay folder. This would play more nicely with other clients.
There are already thumbnails, nfo etc. in the media folder and given that you can sort by file type having additional .bif and meta info files isn't an issue IMHO.
edit: I just realized it also strips the width info, e.g
./trickplay/Django Unchained (2012) Bluray-1080p-320.bif -> ./Django Unchained (2012) Bluray-1080p.bif
./trickplay/Django Unchained (2012) Bluray-1080p-manifest.json -> ./Django Unchained (2012) Bluray-1080p.json
Given that it's probably better to fix on sonarr/radarr side and ignore the files if .ignore file exists.
We could still use a custom file extension for meta and expect a .bif without width to be the default width configured in jellyfin settings.
