A VPN is enough for torrenting, as long as the VPN provider isn't logging. I personally use AirVPN because they have port-forwarding but I've used Mullvad before. I also live in Germany and I've never gotten in trouble.
The guide you linked seems a little outdated, Jackett has been replaced by Prowlarr, which is there to have a central location to manage your trackers. If you plan to use Jellyfin, you should also use Jellyseer instead if Overseer. The *arr services are the ones that actually search for the files to download by using the trackers you set up in Prowlarr. You don't need all the *arr services, I only have Sonarr and Radarr, which are for shows and movies respectively. I also have Bazarr for subtitles. AdguardHome is only for ad-blocking, might be useful to you but isn't needed. Idk why that's even in the guide. Flaresolverr is something I've never heard about and I don't use it, so I can't tell you anything about that. Heimdall is something I don't need because I use YunoHost, which has a dashboard already but it might be useful to you.
AirVPN isnt based on Italy? Watchout Italy is a place where Lawfull Interception is easy to implement. I understand the portfowarding thing, stick to ProtonVPN. You need a VPN where countries do the things right, I'm not saying Italy is not one of those. But Switzerland, seems like the best option to resolve any issue.
Maybe... You can use i2p.
BTW cryptostorm is a very old and very known for the paranoid owners. They are really tech savvy, you should give them a try. They do not have a nice, client for windows, and doesn't for Linux they use nm for connections. I think that's where you know they don't want to be more famous , like mullvad orprotono or the others.
I use i2p for torrenting and it works pretty well... except for the download speed (because i2p is a anonymization software, obviously, so it's gonna lots of tunnels..) I recommend tracker2.postman.i2p if you want a torrent site on i2p (everything on there is safe)
Just read about i2p for the first time. How slow is the download speed in real life? I could live with slow speeds, as long as it doesn't get ridiculously slow.
