I didn’t really have a need for Audiobookshelf until I discovered libro.fm where I found you can get drm-free audiobooks. After I discovered a need, I found the Plappa app on iOS is actually a pretty nice player to connect to audiobookshelf. I still need to use the web app to manage the library. But Plappa provides the listening part, and it also does CarPlay (which is my main requirement for media).
Audiobookshelf also has a podcast feature you can use as a podcast fetcher - and then play them through Plappa.
For audio media I use Jellyfin and the Manet iOS app (the only CarPlay media player I could find). It keeps things in separate apps, but that’s what’s working for me.
