I updated my question so it’s more clear. The update is relavent to your first point.

By local storage do you mean storage on the client or server? I thought a benefit of jwt is not having to store anything on the server, is this correct?

"Local storage" is the name of something most web browsers implement https://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_webstorage.asp

That's not really a benefit. If it's on the server it's far more secure, unless you've messed that up, and you have less/no issues with running out of space on the server.
