Is there a way to enable iTunes Home Sharing?
I am guessing the answer is "no", but it doesn't hurt to ask if there is a work around somewhere.
The support docs I can find exclusively mention to turn on Media Sharing in the Preferences, but High Sierra does not have that.
I have an older Mac, so High Sierra is the latest OS upgrade I can make.
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.13
in pre Mojave, one enable it in the preferences in itunes which of cause has to be running on the mac or windows machine in order for it to work

Media Sharing is available in my Sharing preferences pane in Catalina.
Get help with Home Sharing for iTunes libraries
As mentioned in the original post, Catalina is not an option. (My MBP was barely supported by High Sierra.)
I am checking if there might be a set of commands in Terminal or some other work around to bypass the missing Media Sharing in High Sierra Preferences.
That worked.
I had turned on Home Sharing in the Preferences, but like you say, there is another "turn on Home Sharing" under the File menu that I didn't notice before.
I selected that one, and after the account password login, the Remote app on my iPhone can use the iTunes library on my Mac.
(More importantly, my 2nd Gen AppleTV that I dug out of storage can stream from my library again.)
