I have no fundamental objection to using sRGB photos, but as described, I have the problem that the color aquamarine is not displayed correctly in sRGB, particularly in the saturation range. I only get correct output with Adobe RGB (1998). An example of the front of the train is attached.

On my Windows machine, viewed in the Photos app, the colors in those images are indistinguishable. In Photos on my Macbook the difference is very slight, and could be overcome with a touch more saturation on the sRGB image. Here's a side-by-side screenshot from the Mac. It's much the same in Safari.
In my aging copy of Adobe Photoshop Elements (Windows), the colors are identical.
You'll need to take this up with the browser-makers and the makers of other apps, like Photos. jAlbum can't change how they work.
Within jAlbum, you have two choices. Choice one: always use sRGB images in the project. Choice two: use either color space, but always let jAlbum process the images. If they're already smaller than your chosen image bounds, also choose Force processing of small images.

I suggest reading the linked article.
Which Color Space Should YOU Use?
Choosing correctly requires honest assessment of your workflow and output destinations.
Use sRGB if…
You design for web or mobile. This is non-negotiable. Web browsers assume sRGB. Mobile apps expect sRGB. Social media platforms convert to sRGB. Fighting this reality creates unnecessary problems.
UI designers, web developers, mobile app creators, and digital marketers absolutely must deliver in sRGB. You might work in wider gamuts internally, but final delivery must be sRGB for predictable cross-device appearance.
You want the most consistent cross-device color. sRGB’s universal support means colors look essentially identical on a budget laptop, flagship smartphone, office monitor, and gaming display. Wider gamuts introduce variability you can’t control.
You don’t have a wide-gamut monitor. If your display only covers 99% sRGB and 70% AdobeRGB, you literally cannot see AdobeRGB’s extended colors. You’re editing blind. Work in the space your monitor can display.
You’re creating content for mass consumption where viewers use every imaginable device. YouTube SDR content, social media posts, blog images, online portfolios—all benefit from sRGB’s compatibility.
You want simplicity. sRGB is the default, requires the least color management overhead, and causes the fewest surprises. For general creative work without specific wider-gamut requirements, sRGB removes complexity.
Use AdobeRGB if…
You create work for print. Physical output—photo prints, magazines, brochures, packaging, posters—benefits from AdobeRGB’s extended gamut that maps better to printer capabilities.

All my photos are in Adobe RGB (1998). There are too many to convert them all to sRGB. Could I continue creating all my slide photos in Adobe RGB (1998) and use a separate sRGB file for the cover image? Hopefully, only the cover image is a problem.

The easiest thing is to live with what you have and for new images feed jAlbum with sRGB. I suspect 99% of your visitors won’t notice the slight difference in the existing images, almost certainly they will not be using devices capable of rendering AdobeRGB nor of using colour calibration to ensure accurate viewing.

The catch is that you see Adobe RGB photos look more vivid because of the wider gamut of your monitor; meanwhile, most visitors on standard monitors won't notice any difference if their browsers support image color profiles. If not, those photos will look washed out because of the compressed color space. So, basically, it's only you who enjoys the wider color space.
