In a past game (I don't remember what version it was, maybe 1.11?), I think I managed to get military and commercial jump capability in the same fleet by doing the following:
The jump tender was commercial engined, with a commercial jump drive and a tractor beam. It towed a space station (so I could build it on the ground without building yet another shipyard) which contained the military jump drive.
--- I did a thing whereby I put the Military Jump Drive in an engineless commercial station, then used a Commercial Hangar to transport it. The game only checked for engine type, so the engineless station worked fine while the carrier/tender carried a Commercial Jump Drive for itself and whatever else it was going to move. It was pretty space efficient too, overall.
