Lidarr should be able to do that, in your Profile settings put 320 as a higher priority than flac in the upgrade until section, that'll replace flac with mp3 as it finds it
If you're having trouble streaming flac with one person I can't imagine having multiple people streaming mp3 is going to be any better though, if it's bandwidth you'll run into the same thing otherwise if it's hardware, better to find out why it's not seamless and fix it.
My upload is 50mbps and I wouldn't say I have issue streaming it, it's that it isn't as instant for the next song on Australian Broadband, more like +1s.
Setting transcode defaults don't save any time either, the main consideration is that my family don't have good internet and 320kbps would just be more efficient as it really doesn't sound any better for 3x the size.
That’s likely down to your ISPs peering. A 50mbps upload can handle flac with ease, before I had fibre I had 30mbps up and streamed flacs over Plex at work all the time with no issues. Have you checked your Plex amp settings? It’s supposed to cache a few songs, so there shouldn’t be any noticeable gap in song playback
In that case it might be worth just playing around with and increasing the Advanced -> Caching settings in plexamp, with 50mbps upload there really shouldn't be a delay
