You should not use JWT if you have a single application in your organization. However, whenever you have multiple applications, you need some form of central authentication / authorization service. Otherwise, you would have to maintain auth databases in each application, each application will need to be logged-in separately, you won't be able to implement a simple "suspend a user's accounts after X unsuccessful auth attempt", you won't have a central auth log.
