I found there is Readarr, I haven't looked into the m4b stuff though. I'll give it a closer look. I didn't even think about any of this until I saw this thread.
Install the Audnexus agent (https://github.com/djdembeck/Audnexus.bundle) and use that for metadata for the audiobook library
If you already have audiobooks in an Audible library, you can download them directly with OpenAudible
Plex works fine for audiobooks, but still I prefer Audiobookshelf in docker on my unraid server. It looks good, frequent updates (if something is buggy or missing feature just tell the guy in GitHub, he works really hard on it). I switched from Booksonic despite me paying for the mobile app (I mean Booksonic is fine, I just find Audiobookshelf more responsive, and it has more features that I use, like collections)
It worth noting the OpenAudible folks “stole” the IP from the open source project audible-activator and have used it in their paid software.
