I have never heard of Jitterentropy but it sounds vaguely like previous attempts at RNGs.
/r/crypto had a good discussion about this topic a while ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/crypto/comments/9dln0v/whats_the_pr...
My intuition is that this is dangerous and will likely result in security bugs in the future.
