That sounds like the annoying behavior Audacity has where the jack ports
are created when there is audio active, and the ports are removed when the
audio stops, so that the ports keep connecting and disconnecting whenever
the audio starts and stops.

Is there a reason to not use pulse for the desktop apps and jackd as the
backend? That works pretty seamlessly on my Fedora installation.  Maybe
using WebRTC for audio calls would not work well with the extra latency
introduced by pulse, but that is the only use case I can think of where
having pulse as the connection used by the browser is less convenient.
